samuel is 5/8 inch taller than jackie. shelley is o.7 inch taller than jackie. craig is inch taller than jackie. who is taller?
How much taller is Craig?
Samuel is 5/8 inch taller than Jackie. Shelly is 0.7 inch taller than Jackie. Who is the tallest? Answer- Shelly.
To determine who is taller among the four individuals (Samuel, Jackie, Shelley, and Craig), we need to compare their heights. Let's break down the information given:
1. Samuel is 5/8 inch taller than Jackie.
2. Shelley is 0.7 inch taller than Jackie.
3. Craig is 1 inch taller than Jackie.
To find out who is the tallest, we'll calculate each person's height relative to Jackie and compare the results.
Calculating Samuel's height:
Height of Samuel = Height of Jackie + 5/8
(Note: The unit of measurement remains the same for simplicity.)
Calculating Shelley's height:
Height of Shelley = Height of Jackie + 0.7
Calculating Craig's height:
Height of Craig = Height of Jackie + 1
Now, let's compare their heights:
Since we don't know Jackie's actual height, we cannot determine the exact heights of Samuel, Shelley, and Craig. However, we can determine who is taller by comparing the differences in height:
If Samuel's height (5/8) is greater than the combined height differences of Shelley (0.7) and Craig (1), then Samuel would be taller.
If Shelley and Craig's combined height difference (0.7 + 1) is greater than Samuel's height (5/8), then one of them would be taller.
Therefore, to determine who is tallest, we need additional information or the precise height of Jackie.
