Answer:
Pam (6 years), Tia(8 years), Veronica(11 years), Lily (15 years)
Step-by-step explanation:
Tia's age is 8 years
______________________________________________
Since Tia is 2 years senior to Pam
this can be expressed as
Pam's age + 2 years = Tia's age
Pam's age + 2 years = 8 years
Thus, Pam's age is 8 years- 2 years = 6 years
______________________________________________
As Pam is five years younger than Veronica
it can be concluded that Veronica's age is Pam's age plus 5 years
In mathematical terms
Pam's age + 5 years = Veronica's age
6 years + 5 years = Veronica's age
Thus, Veronica's age = 11 years
______________________________________________
Since Veronica is four years younger than Lily
it can be expressed that Veronica's age is (Lily's age - 4 years)
Mathematically
Veronica's age = Lily's age - 4 years
11 years = Lily's age - 4 years
Therefore, Lily's age = 11 years + 4 years = 15 years
Lily's age = 15 years
______________________________________________
If we arrange the ages from youngest to oldest, we have
Pam is 6 years old
Tia is 8 years old
Veronica is 11 years old
Lily is 15 years old
Ranking the sisters from youngest to oldest
Pam, Tia, Veronica, Lily
