Jamal is 5inches taller then Ben and 2 inches shorter than Lacey. Lacey is 9incjes taller than her brother Zach. Zack is 4ft 3in tall. How tall is Ben

Answer 1

Ben's height is 4 ft 1 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find Ben's height, we need to follow the given information step by step.

1. Jamal is 5 inches taller than Ben.

2. Lacey is 2 inches taller than Jamal.

3. Zack is 4 ft 3 in tall and Lacey is 9 inches taller than Zack.

From the information, we know that Lacey is 2 inches taller than Jamal and 9 inches taller than Zack. So, Jamal's height is 2 inches less than Lacey and Lacey's height is 9 inches more than Zack. Therefore, Jamal's height is 9 - 2 = 7 inches more than Zack's. And since Jamal is 5 inches taller than Ben, we can conclude that Ben's height is 7 - 5 = 2 inches shorter than Zack's height. So, Ben's height is 4 ft 3 in - 2 in = 4 ft 1 in.
