Question

The stilts increase a persons heart by 1.5 yards.If Bonnie who is 5 feet and 7 inches tall walks on stilts how tall will be.

Answer 1

Bonnie will be 10 feet and 1inch. Because 1.5 yards is actually 4.5 feet, since 3 feet make up 1 yard. 5 feet + 4 feet= 9 feet. 7 inches plus 6 inches(which is half a foot) = 13 inches or 1 foot and 1inch. 9 feet + 1 foot and 1 inch = 10 feet and 1 inch.

Answer 2

`\boxed{\text{10 ft 1 in}}`

Explanation:

1. Convert the height of stilts to inches

1.5 yd × (36 in/1 yd) = 54 in

2. Convert Bonnie's height to inches

5ft 7in = 5 ft × (12 in/1 ft) + 7 in = 60 in + 7 in = 67 in

3. Calculate Bonnie's height on stilts

67 in + 54 in = 121 in

4. Convert inches back to feet and inches

121 in × (1 ft/12 in) = 10R1 ft = 10 ft 1 in

Bonnie will be
`\boxed{\text{10 ft 1 in}}` tall on stilts.
