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)
The given information states that Kendra's age is half the age of Justin. It also mentions that Kendra is 13 years old. To find Justin's age, we can use the equation:
a/2 = 13
Therefore, the correct equation that represents Justin's age is:
a = 26
To answer this question, we need to use the given information to set up an equation. We know that Kendra's age, which is 13, is half of Justin's age.
Let's set up the equation:
Kendra's age = Justin's age / 2
Since Kendra's age is given as 13, we can substitute it into the equation:
13 = Justin's age / 2
To find Justin's age, we can solve this equation for Justin's age, which is a.
Multiply both sides of the equation by 2:
2 * 13 = Justin's age
26 = Justin's age
Therefore, the equation that represents Justin's age, a, is a = 26.
Let a represent Justin's age.
The equation that represents Justin's age can be written as:
a = 2 * Kendra's age
Since Kendra is 13 years old, her age can be substituted in the equation:
a = 2 * 13
