Question

Joey's height and Keith height combined is one half of Steve's height. Which equation represents this statement?

a. J+K=1/2S
b. J+K=2S
c. J+K=S+1/2
d. J-K=1/2S

Answer 1

The equation that represents the statement that Joey's height and Keith's height combined is one half of Steve's height is J+K=S+1/2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation that represents the statement that Joey's height and Keith's height combined is one half of Steve's height is:

c. J+K=S+1/2

To understand why this equation is correct, let's break it down:

1. The variable 'J' represents Joey's height.
2. The variable 'K' represents Keith's height.
3. The variable 'S' represents Steve's height.

If we add Joey's height and Keith's height (J+K) it should equal half of Steve's height (S+1/2). This equation captures that relationship.
