This is really simple, you just need to figure out how many months are between august and may after that multiply .25 by the number of months. there are 9 months between august and may so you just have to multiply 9 * .25. the answer is 2.25, now you have to add 2.25 by 65 inches because that's how tall megan was. the answer is 67.25

August and may are 9 months apart so 9 * .25 (aka one fourth) = 2.25 and that plus 65 is 67.5 in
