Question

A woman who is 64 inches tall has a shoulder width of 16 inches. How tall is a woman who has a shoulder width of 18.5 inches?

Answer 1

If we turn this to a ratio we get 64:16 and we need ?:18.5. To easily solve this we would divide 64 by 16 and 64/16= 4 now that we know that the shoulder width is 1/4 if a persons height we can then multiply 18.5 by 4 to find the woman’s height. 18.5x4=74
So your answer is 74 inches
