Question

1. Janet is 1. 5 m tall and her brother is 1. 2 times taller. Their father is half their combined height, which is 0. 1 m more than their mother's height.

a) what is the combined height for Janet's mother and father?

b) Is Janet more or less than half of her parent's combined height?

Answer 1

1.5+1.2=2.7

2.7÷2=1.35

1.35=dad's height

1.35-0.1=1.25 mothers height

2.6 combined height of mother and father

b) more than half
