Harry Mayer · Answer 1

If we replace the 3 in the ratio with a 25 (which is a reasonable age for a parent), it means that the child would have to be about 17 years old. (The ratio would be 20:16.666667 to stay equal to 3:2) Therefore, it is not possible.

Yes beacuse that means it would be 32 years old
