Answer:

Yessenia's father is 24 years older than Yessenia's sister

Explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to answer the question correctly:

Age of Yessenia now = y

Her sister is twice as old as Yessenia

Her father is 32 years older than Yessenia

2. How much older is her father than her sister?

If the age of Yessenia now is 8 years old, we can find out the age of her sister, this way:

2y = 2 * 8 = 16 years old

If the age of Yessenia now is 8 years old, we can find out the age of her father, this way:

y + 32

8 + 32 = 40

Yessenia's father is (40 - 16) years older than Yessenia's sister

Therefore, Yessenia's father is 24 years older than Yessenia's sister
