Set up a proportion:

kid/dad = kid/dad

8/9 = 5.5/dad

Cross multiply to solve proportions:

8*dad = 9*5.5


8*dad = 49.5

dad = 6.1875 feet

They want inches so multiply by 12:

74.25 inches

They want "nearest inch" so:

Dad is 74 inches tall.

A garden table and a bench cost $589 combined. The garden table costs $61 less than the bench. What is the cost of the bench?
Paul [167]

Answer:

The bench costs $350

Step-by-step explanation:

et the cost of the bench = x

 

the cost of the garden table = x + 94

 

x + (x + 94) = 794

 

2x + 94 = 794

 

2x = 700

 

x = 350

 

The bench costs $350 and the garden table costs 350 + 94 = $444
