Question

Jamal is 5 inches taller then ben and 2 inches shorter than lacy. is 9 inches taller than her brother zach. zach is 4 ft 3 inches tall. how tall is ben?

Answer 1

Ben is 4”5

Explanation:

if Zach is 4“3 and lacy is 9 inches taller whats 4”3 plus 9 inches, that’s 5”1 now we look at jamal if jamal is 2 inches shorter than lacy then we subtract 5”1 from 2 inches, that’s 4”10 then if Ben is 5 inches short than jamal and jamal is 4”10 that means Ben is 4”5 (4”10 subtract 5 inches)

hoped that helped :)

Answer 2

4 feet 5 inches

Explanation:

Lacy is the tallest of them all. She is 4 feet and 12 inches tall (5 feet). Next to her is Jamal, who is 4 feet and 10 inches tall. He is followed by Ben who is 4 feet and 5 inches tall. The shortest of them all is Zach, who is 2 inches shorter than Ben (4 feet and 3 inches tall). Getting the answer is easier if you present it in a diagram.

Tallest to shortest: Lacy, Jamal, Ben and Zach.
