Question

A poster of the detroit lions football players uses a scale of 4 inches= 3 feet. If quarterback Matthew stafford is 8 1/2 inches tall on the poster, find his actual height.

Answer 1

The actual height = 6.38 feet

Explanation:

Given that a poster of the detroit lions football players uses a scale

of 4 inches = 3 feet

so

• 1 inch = 3/4 feet

Given that the poster's length:

`8(1)/(2)=(17)/(2)=8.5` inch

• We need to determine the actual height if quarterback Matthew Stafford is 8 1/2 inches tall on the poster.

• As 1 inch = 3/4 feet

Thus, we need to multiply 8.5 inches by 3/4 to determine the actual height of the player.

Actual height = 8.5 × 3/4 feet

= 6.38 feet

Therefore, the actual height = 6.38 feet
