If Carmens age is x and Antoine is 5 1/4 years older than Carmen then Antoine's age is x + 5 1/4 Katy is 11 1/2 years older than Carmen hence, Katy's age is x + 11 1/2 its visible that Katy is older than Antoine since (x + 11 1/2 ) > (x + 5 1/4) difference between Antoine's and Katy's age can be found out by subtracting Antoine's age from Katy's age Difference = Katy's age - Antoine's age = x + 11 1/2 - (x + 5 1/4) = x + 11 1/2 - x - 5 1/4 = 6 (1/2 - 1/4) = 6 1/4 6 1/4 rounded off to the nearest year is 6 years. Therefore difference is 6 years. Katy is 6 years older than Antoine
