Answer:

Given that;

Percentage of vertical jump height = 27.5%

Dagne's height = 48 inches

Find:

Height of jump

Computation:

Height of jump = Percentage of vertical jump height × Dagne's height

Height of jump = 48 × 27.5

Height of jump = 13.2 inches

27.5% of her height is 13.2 inches
1% = 13.2 divided by 27.5 = 0.48 inches
100% = 0.48 x 100 = 48 inches

Dagne is 48 inches tall.
