Question

NEED HELP PLZ Jebb is the tallest player on the basketball team. He is 1 1/2 times as tall as the shortest girl in the sixth grade, who is 4 1/4 feet tall. How tall is Jeb?

Answer 1

i think its 6 3/8?

Answer 2

Since Jeb is 1 1/2 the height of the shortest girl in the sixth grade, the only thing you need to solve for is half of the height of the shortest girl in sixth grade.

Half of 4 1/4 is the same as 4 1/4 divided by 2, which is 2 1/8. Then just add 4 1/4 and 2 1/8 to get 6 3/8

Answer 3

thank you!
