Cautioning the witness to remember that she was under oath,
the lawyer asked, "How old are you?"
"Twenty-nine and some months," she replied.
"How many months?"
"A hundred and ten."
How old was the witness?
Give a range for her age (in the form YY years MM months to YY years MM months).
Assume that "twenty-nine years" could be any age from 29 Years 00 months to 29 years 11 months.
Solution to the Problem:
The witness could be any age from 38 years 02 months to 39 years 01 month.
110 months equals 9 years 2 months.
So, adding 9 years 2 months onto 29 years 0 months gives 38 years 02 months.
Adding 9 years 2 months onto 29 years 11 months gives 39 years 01 month.
