Question

Jack can long-jump 195% of hisheight with a running start. If Jackcan long jump 97.5 inches, how tallis he?

Answer 1

This can be expressed as :

195% of Jack's height ( x) is esual to 97.5

→ 195/100 *x = 97.5

x (height ) = 97.5 /1.95

= 50 feet

• This means that Jack's height is 50 feet tall,.

{Extra notes: This is true because 195% of 50 = 195*50/100 = 97 .5}
