Question

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. How tall is jebb?

Answer 1

51/8 or 6 3/8 (depending on if you need to simplify or not)

Explanation:

Since the girl is 4.25 feet tall, you would multiply that by 1.5 which would get you 6.375 then, you convert to a fraction. The fraction would be 51/8 which would be equivalent to 6 3/8. So, Jebb is 6 3/8 feet tall.
