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.

Answer 1

Let x be Karen's older sister's height.
Karen's height = 27 + (x/2)
59 = 27 + (x/2)
32 = x/2
x = 64 inches
Karen's older sister's height is 64 inches. Answer: \boxed{64}.
