Given:
Dana
Neil
Frank

a) Frank's age is one-fourth of Dana's age.
Dana's age = d
Frank's age = f
f = 1/4 * d
f = d/4

b) Neil's age is one-half of the difference between Dana's age and Frank's age.
Neil's age = n
n = 1/2 * (d - d/4)
n = d/2 - d/8

c) dana is 16 year's old.
f = d/4 = 16/4 = 4
n = d/2 - d/8 = 16/2 - 16/8 = 8 - 2 = 6

Dana is 16 years old
Neil is 6 years old
Frank is 4 years old

Answer:

Dana is 16 years old

Neil is 6 years old

Frank is 4 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Dana, Neil, Frank

a)

Frank's age is one-fourth of Dana's age.

Dana's age = d

Frank's age = f

f = 1/4 * d f = d/4

b)

Neil's age is one-half of the difference between Dana's age and Frank's age.

Neil's age = n

n = 1/2 * (d - d/4)

n = d/2 - d/8

c)

dana is 16 year's old.

f = d/4 = 16/4 = 4

n = d/2 - d/8 = 16/2 - 16/8 = 8 - 2 = 6
