4 times table : 4, 8, 12, 16, 20, 24, 28, 32, 36, 40
ReplyDelete7 times table: 7, 14, 21, 28, 35, 42, 49, 56, 63, 70
We have to look at the 4 times table first, if we take the no. 28 we have to add four to it so 28+4=32. the no. 32 is in the 7 times table so four years ago Mrs March was 28 years old. So now Mrs March is 32 years old. So to find how old is Mrs March 4 years later, we add 4 years to Mrs March age. So it will be 32+4=36.So36is the answer.
