Kendra's age is half the age of Justin. Kendra is 13 years old. Which of the following
equations represents Justin's age, a? (1 point)
1/2a =13
a + 1/2 =13
2a =13
13a =2
The correct equation representing Justin's age, a, is:
2a = 13
The equation that represents Justin's age, a, is:
2a = 13
To find the equation representing Justin's age, we need to consider the information given in the problem. We know that Kendra's age is half the age of Justin, and Kendra is 13 years old.
Let's represent Justin's age with the variable "a". Since Kendra's age is half of Justin's age, we can write the equation as follows:
a/2 = 13
This equation shows that Justin's age divided by 2 is equal to 13. Therefore, the correct equation representing Justin's age is:
a/2 = 13
So, option 1/2a = 13 is the correct equation.
