To find the height of Karen's older sister, we need to solve the given equation: 59 = (1/2)x + 27, where x represents the older sister's height.
First, subtract 27 from both sides of the equation:
59 - 27 = (1/2)x
32 = (1/2)x.
Next, multiply both sides of the equation by 2 to isolate x:
2 * 32 = 2 * (1/2)x
64 = x.
Therefore, Karen's older sister is 64 inches tall.
To find out the height of Karen's older sister, we need to subtract 27 inches from Karen's height, which is 59 inches.
Karen's older sister's height = Karen's height - 27 inches
Karen's older sister's height = 59 inches - 27 inches
Karen's older sister's height = 32 inches
So, her older sister's height is 32 inches.
To find the height of Karen's older sister, we need to first determine half of Karen's height.
Half of Karen's height is 59 inches / 2 = <<59/2=29.5>>29.5 inches.
Karen's older sister's height can be found by subtracting 27 inches from half of Karen's height:
29.5 inches - 27 inches = <<29.5-27=2.5>>2.5 inches.
Therefore, Karen's older sister is 2.5 inches tall.
