Answer:

x / 3/4

Explanation:

you would get this expression to represent z being teds height divided by kellis height because he is as tall meaning he is shorter and with that being said you have to take the highest number first and then divide it by the lowest to give you a positive number because no one can be negative years old

Answer: Kelli's height= 3/4 x

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to write an equation with the information given:

  • Kelli's height: 3/4 times her brother ted
  • Ted's height: x

So, to obtain Kelli's height we simply have to multiply Ted's height (x) by 3/4 .

Mathematically speaking:

Kelli's height= 3/4 x

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
