We know that Mike is six years old and twice his brother's age:
M = 6
M = 2B
Substituting M = 6 into M = 2B, we get:
6 = 2B
B = 6/2 = 3
So, Mike's brother is currently 3 years old.
We want to find out when Mike will be one and a half times his brother's age. Let x be the number of years from now. In x years:
Mike's age will be M + x = 6 + x
Brother's age will be B + x = 3 + x
We want to find x such that:
6 + x = 1.5 * (3 + x)
Now we solve for x:
6 + x = 4.5 + 1.5x
6 - 4.5 = 1.5x - x
1.5 = 0.5x
x = 1.5 / 0.5
x = 3
Therefore, in 3 years:
Mike will be 6 + 3 = 9 years old
His brother will be 3 + 3 = 6 years old
9 is 1.5 times 6 (9 = 1.5 * 6).
So Mike will be one and a half times his brother's age in $\boxed{3}$ years.
