    Wouldn't the answer be 8 years ago since it's asking how many years ago

    was Betty's age 1/3 so Andrews and Andrew was 33 and 1/3 of 33 is 11, it's basically asking how many years ago was Betty 11

    years old.

    Andrew is 33 years old. One third of 33 is 11:

    33 * 1/3

    = 33/3

    = 11

    Now, the distance in years between 11 and 33 can be calculated accordingly:

    33 - 11 = 22

    Therefore, 22 years ago Betty was 1/3 of Andrew's age. Which means Betty hadn't been born yet.
