Tsepo is 11/2meters tall. his father is 11/3meters times taller. how tall his father

Are you sure??

11/2 = 5 1/2 = 16 1/2 feet

Actually it's over 17 feet.

I think he means 1 1/2 m and 1 1/3 m

- Usually we leave a space between the numbers in mixed fractions
- Secondly, in the metric system we would not use such a fraction, it would be either 1.5 m or 150 cm
Height of human is expressed in cm in the metric system.
- Thirdly, "his father is 11/3meters times taller" makes no sense to me

anyway .... retype the question so it makes sense

To determine how tall Tsepo's father is, we need to multiply Tsepo's height by the given ratio.

First, let's convert Tsepo's height to a fraction: 11/2 meters.

Now, let's multiply Tsepo's height by the ratio of his father's height to Tsepo's height. The ratio is 11/3 (father's height) to 11/2 (Tsepo's height).

To multiply fractions, we multiply the numerators together and the denominators together. So, 11/2 * 11/3 = 121/6.

Therefore, Tsepo's father is 121/6 meters tall.
