Question

A zookeeper is 6 14 feet tall. A young giraffe in his care is 93/8 feet tall. How many times as tall as the zookeeper is the giraffe?

Answer 1

`\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow6(1)/(4)=(25)/(4)\text{ is the height of the zook}eeper \\ \Rightarrow9(3)/(8)=(75)/(8)\text{ is the height of the giraffe} \\ \Rightarrow((75)/(8))/((25)/(4))=(75)/(8)*(4)/(25)=(3)/(2)=1.5 \\ \text{zookeper is 1.5 higher than the giraffe. } \end{gathered}`
