Question

Maria is 62 inches tall. If her sister Eva was 1.5 inches taller, she would be exactly half Maria's height. How tall is Eva? Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answer 1

29.5

Step-by-step explanation: I took the test

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let Eva's height be x

62* 0.5 = x + 1.5

31 = x + 1.5 Subtract 1.5 from both sides.

31 - 1.5 = x

x = 29.5

Eva is 29.5 inches tall.
