Question

A scientist at a giant panda preserve in china measrued the length of a newborn cub as 15.5 centimeters. The cubs mother was 9.5 times as tall as the length of the cub. How tall is the mother

Answer 1

The height of the mother is 147.25cm

Explanation:

The height of the new-born panda is 15.5 centimeters.

Let the height of the mother be = x

We know from the problem that the mother is 9.5 times taller than the baby.

We can get the height of the mother by multiplying the height of the baby by 9.5.

i.e x = 9.5 X 15.5 = 147.25cm
