Different breeds of dogs get older at different rates in “dog years.”
Different breeds of dogs get older at different rates in “dog years.” Livonian wolfhounds age 7 times as fast as humans, whereas Khazarian terriers age 5 times as fast and Akkadian retrievers age 4 times as fast. If Dan bought a newborn Akkadian on January 1, 2008, a newborn Khazarian 1 year later, and a newborn Livonian 1 year after that, in what year will the sum of the dog-year ages of the Akkadian and the Khazarian first be exceeded by twice the age of the Livonian in dog years, rounding all ages down to the nearest integer?
Answer/Solution
2013
Steps/Work
chart starting at 2010:
A+K=13
L=0.
Then I added 9 to a+k for each year and 14 to L for each year.
2011:AK=22 L=14
2012:AK=31 L=28
2013:AK=40 L=42
thus, 2013 is the correct answer. => C
