SUMMER Interesting Age Math Submitted by Laura Kaufman Write your age. Multiply by 20 Add today’s date. Multiply by 5. Add your shoe size (if half size, round up) Subtract 5 x today’s date. The hundreds is your age; the rest is your shoe size. Example … Today is July 10; you are 11 and your shoe size is 6 ½ (rounded to 7) (Age x 20) 11 x 20 = 220 (Add date) 220 + 10 = 230 (Multiply by 5) 230 x 5 = 1150 (Add shoe size) 1150 + 7= 1157 Subtract 5 X date) 1157 -50 = 1107 11 is your age “07” or 7 is your shoe size
