Question

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sandra is 4 feet tall. Pablo is 8% taller than Sandra, and Michaela is 5% taller than Pablo.

Part 1
Complete the explanation of how to find Michaela's height with the given information.

MULTIPLY Sandra's height by 0.08 and add the result to 4 to get Pablo's height. Then MULTIPLY Pablo's height by 0.05 and add the result to Pablo's height to get Michaela's height.


Part 2 out of 2
What is Michaela's approximate height in feet and inches? If necessary, round the number of inches to the nearest whole number.

Michaela's height is approximately ____ feet and ____ inch(es).

Answer 1

We first calculate Pablo's height

4 = 100%x = 1% (Where x is 1% of Sandra's height.)

cross multiplying the equation, we get:

100x = 4 → x = 4/100 → x = 0.04

If 1% = 0.04, then 10% will be 0.04 × 10 = 0.4

Pablo's height is 4 + 0.4 = 4.4 feet

Now we repeat the above steps to get Michal's height from Pablo's height

4.4 = 100%x = 1%

so:

100x = 4.4 → x = 4.4/ 100 → x = 0.044

If 1% = 0.044, then 8% will be 0.044 × 8 = 0.35

Michael's height is 4.4 + 0.35 = 4.75 feet.

I hope this helps.
