Answer 1

`6(3)/(8)` feet.

Explanation:

We have been that Jebb is the tallest player on his basketball team. He is 1 1/2 times as tall as the shortest girl in sixth grade, who is 4 1/4 feet tall.

Let us find height of Jebb by multiplying
`1(1)/(2)` by
`4(1)/(4)`.

First of all we will convert our mixed fractions into improper fractions.

`1(1)/(2)=(3)/(2)`

`4(1)/(4)=(17)/(4)`

`\text{Jebb's height}=(3)/(2) *(17)/(4)`

`\text{Jebb's height}=(51)/(8)=6(3)/(8)=6.375`

Therefore, Jebb is
`6(3)/(8)` feet tall.
