Answer 1

Answer: 10 years

Explanation:

Let d represent Daniel's age.

From the information given, Two times Megan's age is the same as four times Daniel's age. Thus,

2 x Megan's age = 4d

Daniel is five years old. This means that

2 x Megan's age = 4 x 5 = 20

Megan's age = 20/2 = 10

Megan is 10 years
