Answer: Junior is 3 3/10 feet tall .

Explanation:

As given

Junior's brother is 5 1/2 feet tall

i.e

Junior's brother is 11/2 feet tall

Junior is 3/5 of his brother's height

Thus

Junior's heights = 3/5 times his brother's height

Putting all the values in the formula

Junior's Height = 3/5 X 11/2

Junior's height = 33/10

Junior's height = 3 3/10 feet

Therefore Junior is 3 3/10 feet tall .
