Question

A sign next to the science lab says a person must be 54 inches tall to go in. At his last doctor's appointment, Hever was 4 feet 4 inches tall. He has grown 3 inches since then.

Answer 1

Therefore he can go inside because 55 inches is taller than 54 inches.

Explanation:

1 feet = 12 inches

His height is 4 feet and 4 inches

4 feet and 4 inches means

= 4*12+ 4

Converting feet into inches

=48+4= 52 inches

His height was 52 inches.

He has grown 3 inches

His new height is 52+3 = 55 inches

Therefore he can go inside because 55 inches is taller than 54 inches.
