Answer:

60 years old

Explanation:

If she 48 is 4 times her age then we know that 48 divided by 4 is 16. We then add that to 48 to find out her actual age which is 60

Please check your questions after you copy-paste!

Let
a be Sarah's age. We know that the difference between Sarah's age and 44 ----->
a-44

...Multiplied by 4 ---->
4(a-44)

equals 64----->
4(a-44)=64

To solve the equation, we divide both sides by 4:


a-44=16

And add 44 to both sides:


a=60
