A rope lying over the top of a fence is the same length on each side. It | |
weighs one third of a pound per foot. On one end hangs a monkey holding a | |
banana, and on the other end a weight equal to the weight of the monkey. | |
The banana weighs two ounces per inch. The rope is as long (in feet) as | |
the age of the monkey (in years), and the weight of the monkey (in ounces) | |
is the same as the age of the monkey's mother. The combined age of the | |
monkey and its mother is thirty years. One half of the weight of the monkey, | |
plus the weight of the banana, is one forth as much as the weight of the | |
weight and the weight of the rope. The monkey's mother is half as old as | |
the monkey will be when it is three times as old as its mother was when she | |
she was half as old as the monkey will be when when it is as old as its mother | |
will be when she is four times as old as the monkey was when it was twice | |
as its mother was when she was one third as old as the monkey was when it | |
was old as is mother was when she was three times as old as the monkey was | |
when it was one fourth as old as it is now. How long is the banana? |
