Question

Nia is three years older than half Jordans age , if Jordan is eight years old , how old is Nia?

Answer 1

Hello! 

If Nia is three years older than half of Jordan's age, we must divide Jordan's age by 2 (to find half of his age).

Jordan is eight years old:
8 divided by 2 equals 4

4 years old is half of Jordan's age. Now, to find Nia's age, we must add 3 to half of Jordan's age (4).

4+3= 7
Nia is 7 years old. 

I hope this helps answer your question! Have a great day!
