Answer 2

Answer:

Naomi's father is 81 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Naomi is two-thirds as tall as her father.

Let "x" be the Naomi's father height.

Naomi is 54 inches tall.

$\frac{2}{3}.x = 54$

We need to solve for x.

To solve for x, multiply both sides by the reciprocal of $\frac{2}{3}$.

The reciprocal of $\frac{2}{3}$ is $\frac{3}{2}$.

$\frac{3}{2} . \frac{2}{3} . x = 54.\frac{3}{2}$

x = $54.\frac{3}{2}$

x = 27.3

x = 81

So, Naomi's father is 81 inches tall.
