Question

Denice is 55 3/4

inches tall. Glen is 1 1/2- inches shorter than Denice and Jane is 1 1/5 inches shorter than glen. How tall is Jane?

Answer 1

Jane is 53.05 inches, or 53 1/20 in.

Explanation:

I'm going to set the information given as equations.

d = 55.75

g = d - 1.5

j = g - 1.2

Then, you plug in the values given to find other ones, starting with glen.

g = 55.75 - 1.5

g = 54.25

j = 54.25 - 1.2

j = 53.05 inches

= 53 1/20 in.

I hope this helps!
