A mother is 1 3/4 times as tall as her son. Her son is 3 feet tall. How tall is the mother?

1 answer:

3 0

In order to find the answer to this question, you need to multiply the fractions. But before we do that, we need to turn the mixed fraction into a proper fraction. 1 3/4 would turn into 7/4 because you multiply the denominator by the whole number and add the numerator. So we come out with:

7/4 x 3/1 = 21/4

Can we simplify 21/4? No, we can't. However, we need to turn it back into a mixed fraction. We can do that by actually dividing the numbers. 21 divided by 4 is 5 with a remainder of 1, so we come out with our answer.

The mom is 5 1/4 feet tall :) Hope this helps!
