5. ALGEBRA (MODERATE)
Jose spent 5/40 of his life being single, 5/16 of his life having his first girlfriend
“Jennie” but it ended in a break-up , 3/8 of his life having his second girlfriend
“Lisa” and still it ended in a break-up, 1 year in a relationship with “Rose” but still it

they married and have a wonderful journey as married couple, 1 years later his son
was born and then Jose went on to lived his remaining 1/10 of his life and died. How
old is Jose when he died?
