Jebb is the tallest player on the basketball team. He is 1 1/2 times as tall as the shortest girl in the sixth grade, who is 4 1/4 feet tall. How tall is Jeb?

3/2 x 17/4 = ??

IS this how I solve it? Help?

3/2 x 17/4 = 51/8 = 6 3/8 feet

Doesn't it make sense that he is a little over 6 feet tall -- rather than 8 1/2 feet tall?

alright, like any kid would listen.

Wait I how about this wa. 17/4 x 4/2 = 17/2 then divide 17/2 = 8 1/2

6 3/8 ft.

Jen is 6 ft4.5 inches tall

1 1/2 x 4 1/4 change to improper fractions
3/2 x 17/4
3x17 (2x4) = 51/8 = 6 3/8 ft
3/8 of 12 inches. Is (3/8) x 12= 36/8 = 4 4/8 =4.5 inches H-E-B is 6 feet 4.5 inches tall
