In July 2020, Myrtle will celebrate her 38th wedding anniversary. She will have been married for 2/3 of her life. What YEAR was Myrtle Born if her birthday is in November?

Answer :

Answer:

Myrtle is born in November 1963.

Step-by-step explanation:

If we know that Myrtle has been married for 38 years in July 2020 and such period of time represents two thirds of her life, her lifetime can be found by this expression:

[tex]\frac{2}{3}\cdot x = 38\,yr[/tex]

Where [tex]x[/tex] is Myrtle's lifetime, measured in years.

[tex]x = \frac{3}{2}\times (38\,yr)[/tex]

[tex]x = 57\,yr[/tex]

Please notice that Myrtle got married in July 1982, when she was 18 years old, and became 19 in November 1982. She is born in November 1963, almost 19 years before her marriage.
