Mother's age today = M
Justin's age today = J
(M-J)/J=11
M/J - 1 = 11
M/J = 12

To find out how many times Justin's mother is as old as him, we need to determine their current ages.
Let's assume Justin's current age is J, and his mother's current age is M. We know that Justin reached 1/11 the age his mother was when he was born. This means:
J = (1/11) * (M - J)
We can simplify this equation to:
11J = M - J
Next, we can solve for M (the age of Justin's mother):
M = 12J
Finally, to determine how many times Justin's mother is as old as Justin, we can divide her age (M) by Justin's age (J):
M / J = (12J) / J = 12
Therefore, Justin's mother is 12 times as old as Justin.
