x age of son;4x age of hamadou wife and 6x age of hamadou  x+4x+6x=100⇔11x=100⇔x=((100)/(11))≈9years  1month  then his mother has 4x=36years=1month  his father has 6x=54years=1month
$${x}\:{age}\:{of}\:{son};\mathrm{4}{x}\:{age}\:{of}\:{hamadou}\:{wife}\:{and}\:\mathrm{6}{x}\:{age}\:{of}\:{hamadou} \\ $$$${x}+\mathrm{4}{x}+\mathrm{6}{x}=\mathrm{100}\Leftrightarrow\mathrm{11}{x}=\mathrm{100}\Leftrightarrow{x}=\frac{\mathrm{100}}{\mathrm{11}}\approx\mathrm{9}{years}\:\:\mathrm{1}{month} \\ $$$${then}\:{his}\:{mother}\:{has}\:\mathrm{4}{x}=\mathrm{36}{years}=\mathrm{1}{month} \\ $$$${his}\:{father}\:{has}\:\mathrm{6}{x}=\mathrm{54}{years}=\mathrm{1}{month} \\ $$$$ \\ $$$$ \\ $$
