Let say that the age of the older sibling is x, then the age of the younger child is (1/3)x or x/3. So we have,
x/3 + x = 16 multiply both sides by 3
x + 3x = 48
4x = 48 divide by 4 to both sides
x = 12 the age of the older
x/3 = 12/3 = 4 the age of the younger.
Thus, the younger child is 4 years old.
