To find the average height of Gary, Gino, and Gilbert, we need to add up their heights and divide the total by 3 (since there are three friends). Here's how we can do it:
1. Convert all the heights to a common format. In this case, let's convert them to fractions.
- Gary's height: 61 1/8 inches = 489/8 inches
- Gino's height: 56 1/2 inches = 113/2 inches
- Gilbert's height: 63 1/8 inches = 505/8 inches
2. Add up the converted heights: 489/8 + 113/2 + 505/8
- To add fractions, we need to find a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8.
- Convert the fractions to have a common denominator:
- 489/8 + 904/8 + 505/8 = (489 + 904 + 505)/8
3. Add the numerators: 489 + 904 + 505 = 1898
4. Find the average height by dividing the sum by the total number of friends (3):
- Average height = 1898/3 = 632 2/3 inches
So, the average height of Gary, Gino, and Gilbert is 632 2/3 inches.
