Question

Karen measured her height as 59 inches. That is 27 inches more than half her older sister’s height. How tall is her older sister?(1 point)

Answer 1

Let x be the height of Karen's older sister.
Karen's height is x/2 + 27.
Therefore, x/2 + 27 = 59.
Thus, x/2 = 59 - 27 = 32.
Then, x = 32 * 2 = <<32*2=64>>64 inches.
The older sister is 64 inches tall. Answer: \boxed{64}.
