#3 Re: Help Me ! » my math extra credit riddle. HELP PLEASE » 2009-04-20 05:59:00

At a party, a guest asks the age of the host’s three children. The host tells the guest the following information: 


Assume each child is a whole number age;

The product of their ages is 72;

The sum of their ages is the same as my house number.

The guest goes outside and looks at the house number. Upon returning, the guest indicates that he still needs additional information.  The host then says "Oops, I forgot to tell you that the oldest is the only one that likes vanilla ice cream."  You now have all the information to determine the ages of the children. How old is each child?

Please help! This is extra credit, and im only a 5th grader
