Question

1. Kim's age is twice that of her sister. When you add Kim's age to her sister's age, you get 24. How old is each

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Let Kim's age be k, then Kim's sister's age is k/2

k+$\frac{k}{2}$=24

b) k+$\frac{k}{2}$=24

1$\frac{1}{2}$k=24

k=16

$\frac{k}{2}$=8

Kim's age is 16 while her sister's age is 8.
