Question

A person’s walking stride is about 0.413 times the person’s height in inches. Your friend’s stride is 27.258 inches. How tall is your friend in feet?

Answer 1

The height of the friend is 5.5 feet .

Explanation:

Let us assume the height of the friend = m inches

The walking stride of friend = 27. 258 inches

Now, The walking stride rate = 0.413 times ( Person's height in inches)

⇒ 27. 258 inches = 0.413 x (m inches)

or, m = 27.258/ 0.413 = 66 inches

or, m = 66 inches

Now, 1 inch = 0.08333 foot

So, 66 inches = 66 x ( 0.08333 foot) = 5.5 ft

Hence, the height of the friend is 5.5 feet .
