Answer:

Trevor is 5ft 3.5 inches tall

Explanation:

To solve this you will have to convert 6ft into inches, to do this you will multiply the number of feet by 12. So 6*12 is 72. So the dad is 72 inches tall. To find Trevor's height you would need to subtract 72-8.5 to get your answer of 63.5 inches. Divide that by twelve to get the number of feet. So Trevor is 5ft 3.5 inches tall
