Full solution

Q. Stephanie is TWICE as old as her Sister Rosa. If Stephanie is 1818 years old, How OLD is Rosa?
  1. Denote Ages: Let's denote Stephanie's age as SS and Rosa's age as RR. According to the problem, Stephanie is twice as old as Rosa. This can be written as an equation: S=2RS = 2R. We are given that Stephanie's age (SS) is 1818 years old. So we can substitute SS with 1818 in the equation. 18=2R18 = 2R
  2. Substitute Stephanie's Age: Now, we need to solve for RR (RRosa's age). To do this, we divide both sides of the equation by 22 to isolate RR.\newline182=2R2\frac{18}{2} = \frac{2R}{2}
  3. Solve for Rosa's Age: After performing the division, we get the value of RR.9=R9 = RThis means that Rosa is 99 years old.
