Karen's height is 59 inches.
Let x be the height of Karen's older sister.
According to the information given, 59 inches is 27 inches more than half of her sister's height.
Therefore, we can write the equation:
59 = (x/2) + 27
Subtracting 27 from both sides:
59 - 27 = (x/2)
32 = (x/2)
Multiply both sides by 2:
64 = x
So, Karen's older sister is 64 inches tall.
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)
