Example Question #83 : Measurement & Data
Jackie measured the height of her brothers Paul and Randy. Paul was about five feet tall, and Randy was four feet and six inches tall. In inches, how tall are both of her brothers combined?
The first thing we need to do is put our feet into inches because our final answer is asking for inches. We know that . We can set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve for Paul's height first.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Next, we will solve for Randy's height in inches. We will leave the inches portion that we already know (six inches) out for now and just convert the four feet into inches.
Then we can divide to isolate the .
Then we add the additional six inches to Randy's total height.
Finally, we need to find total of the brothers' combined height by adding them.
The brothers' have a combined height of inches.
