Answer 2

Andrew's height is
`1(5)/(8)` meters

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that John's height is
`1(3)/(4)` meters

We are given that:

John is
`(1)/(8)` meters shorter than Paul

This means that:

Paul's height = John's height +
`(1)/(8)`

Paul's height =
`1(3)/(4) + (1)/(8) = 1(7)/(8)` meter

We are given that:

Paul is 0.25 meters taller than Andrew

This means that:

Andrew's height = Paul's height - 0.25

Andrew's height =
`1(7)/(8) - 0.25 = 1(5)/(8)` meters

Hope this helps :)
