Final answer:

The correct equation to determine Zorna's father's weight, given that Zorna weighs 6 pounds more than half her father's weight, is x/2 + 6 = 92.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks for an equation to find out how much Zorna's father weighs if Zorna weighs 92 pounds which is 6 pounds more than half of her father's weight. To set up the equation, we can use 'x' to represent the father's weight. The equation that describes this situation is x/2 + 6 = 92, where x/2 represents half of the father's weight and 6 represents the additional weight that makes up Zorna's weight.

To solve for x, we would subtract 6 from both sides of the equation and then multiply by 2 to find the father's full weight. Therefore, the correct equation is represented by option A: x/2 + 6 = 92.
