Answer 1

If the heights of three people are 5'8", 5'2", and 6'2" then the average height of the three people is 5'7.33". Thus, the correct answer is C. 5'7.33".

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the average height of the three people, we follow these steps:

1. First, we convert all the heights to feet and inches:

- The first person is 5'8", which is 68 inches.

- The second person is 5'2", which is 62 inches.

- The third person is 6'2", which is 74 inches.

2. Next, we add up all the heights and divide by the number of people:

total height = 68 + 62 + 74 = 206 inches

average height = total height / number of people = 206 / 3 = 68.67 feet or 5'7.33"

Thus, the correct answer is C. 5'7.33".
