umm 20

Study the last problem and answer I posted. I'm sure you can come up with a better answer than 20.

A daisy is 24 inches tall. The height of a sunflower is 3 1/2 times the height of the daisy. Find the height of the sunflower.

To find the height of the sunflower, we first need to multiply the height of the daisy by 3.5 since the height of the sunflower is 3 1/2 times the height of the daisy.

24 inches (height of the daisy) * 3.5 = 84 inches

So, the height of the sunflower is 84 inches.

To find the height of the sunflower, we can use the information given that the sunflower is 3 1/2 times the height of the daisy, which is 24 inches.

To calculate the height of the sunflower, we multiply the height of the daisy by 3 1/2:

Height of sunflower = Height of daisy * 3 1/2

Let's convert the mixed number 3 1/2 to an improper fraction:
3 1/2 = (3 * 2 + 1)/2 = 7/2

Now we can substitute the values into the equation:
Height of sunflower = 24 inches * 7/2

To multiply a number by a fraction, we multiply the numerator (top number) by the number and keep the denominator (bottom number) the same:

Height of sunflower = 24 * 7/2 = 168/2 = 84 inches

Therefore, the height of the sunflower is 84 inches.
