Question

Alice and Claire's mom measure each of their heights in inches rounded to the nearest whole inch and she remarked wow Alice's height is exactly three fourths of Clarence height what are three different reasonable possibilities answer

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Claire's height be x while Alice's height be y.

Given:

y = 3/4 of x

= 3/4 x

Assume y = 48 in

x = 48 × 4/3

= 64 in

Assume y = 54 in,

x = 54 × 4/3

= 72 in

Assume y = 30 in

x = 30 × 4/3

= 40 in

Note try to keep the heights as realistic as possible hence the selected numbers.
