Rob is 2/3 of his dad height.If his dad is 6'3" tall how tall is Rob? Give the answer in feet and inches.
Please help me I do not get this.
Let's change the feet to inches.
6'3" = 75"
2/3 * 75 = 150/3 = 50" = 4' 2"
Thanks
You're welcome.
To find out how tall Rob is, we need to calculate 2/3 of his dad's height.
First, let's convert his dad's height from feet and inches to inches. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we can multiply 6 feet by 12 inches to get 72 inches. Adding the remaining 3 inches, his dad's height is 75 inches.
Next, we need to find 2/3 of his dad's height. To do this, multiply 75 inches by 2/3:
(75 inches) × (2/3) = 150/3 inches = 50 inches
Now, we need to convert the inches back to feet and inches. Since 1 foot is equal to 12 inches, we divide 50 inches by 12 to find that Rob is 4 feet and 2 inches tall.
Therefore, Rob's height is 4 feet 2 inches.
