Answer:

19.5 inches a.k.a. 1 foot and 7.5 inches

Explanation:

1) To make it easier, convert Sean's dad's height into solely inches.

6 feet and 6 inches = 6(12) + 6 = 72 + 6 = 78 inches

2) Find out what is one-fourth of Sean's dad's height.

In order to do that, you must simply multiply 78 by
(1)/(4).


78((1)/(4) ) = 19.5

3) Convert back to feet and inches (if necessary)...

19.5 inches = 12 + 7.5 = 1 foot and 7.5 inches

I hope this helps!
