Jerry grew 5 inches in 2003, and 2 inches more in 2004 before reaching his final height of 5 feet 10 inches . what percentage of his final height did his 2003-2004 growth represent?
His total 2003-2004 growth amounts to 5+2 = 7in.
Convert his final height of 5ft 10in to inches. 5*12 + 10 = 70in.
Now divide his 2003-2004 growth by his final height in inches: 7 / 70 = .1, or 10%.
He grew 7 inches in those two years.
His final height is 70 inches.
7/70 = 0.1 = 10%
To find the percentage of Jerry's final height that his growth from 2003-2004 represents, we need to compare the total growth to his final height.
1. First, let's calculate the total growth from 2003-2004.
Jerry grew 5 inches in 2003 and an additional 2 inches in 2004.
Therefore, the total growth is 5 inches + 2 inches = 7 inches.
2. Next, let's convert Jerry's final height of 5 feet 10 inches to inches.
1 foot equals 12 inches, so 5 feet would be 5 x 12 = 60 inches.
Adding the remaining 10 inches, Jerry's final height is 60 inches + 10 inches = 70 inches.
3. Now, we can calculate the percentage of Jerry's final height that his growth from 2003-2004 represents.
Percentage = (Total growth / Final height) x 100%
Percentage = (7 inches / 70 inches) x 100%
Percentage = (0.1) x 100% = 10%
Therefore, Jerry's growth from 2003-2004 represents 10% of his final height.
To find the percentage of Jerry's final height that his growth from 2003-2004 represents, we need to calculate the difference in height and then divide it by his final height.
First, let's convert Jerry's final height of 5 feet 10 inches into inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we can multiply 5 by 12 and add the remaining 10 inches to get a total of 70 inches.
Next, let's calculate the difference in height from 2003-2004. Jerry grew 5 inches in 2003 and an additional 2 inches in 2004, so the total growth is 5 + 2 = 7 inches.
Now, we can calculate the percentage by dividing the total growth (7 inches) by the final height (70 inches) and multiplying by 100.
Percentage = (Total growth / Final height) * 100
Percentage = (7 inches / 70 inches) * 100
Percentage ≈ 10%
Therefore, Jerry's growth from 2003-2004 represents approximately 10% of his final height.
