Hi everybody! I have a math test in a fewdays and I'm trying to prepare with questions I found online (my teacher recommended it, it was some weird flashcard thing). It had good questions but It would not provide answers to check my answer.
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!

Questions:
Write and solve an equation for the word problem:
Eight and one-half years ago, Carla was 7 years old. How old is she now?

My answer: 8 1/2 + 7 = 15.5
