Question

Walt grew 10 cm in 1 year. He is now 1.6m tall. How tall was he (in feet) last year

(12 in = 1 foot)

Answer 1

Walt's height last year was 4.92 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how tall Walt was last year, we need to subtract the growth he experienced in one year from his current height. Since he grew 10 cm in 1 year, his height last year was 1.6m - 0.1m = 1.5m. However, we need to convert this height to feet. Using the conversion rate of 12 in = 1 foot, we can calculate that Walt's height last year was 1.5m * (100 cm/1m) * (1 foot/12 in) = 4.92 feet.
