This is a proportion problem.
Let's make her Length x and her height 1/3 x.
1/3 x = 20 inches
x = 6 2/3 inches
Molly's height is 6 2/3 inches.
Check it.
6 2/3 x 3 = ? (change the mixed number to a fraction)
20/3 x 3 = ? (multiply)
60/3 = ? (divide)
20 inches. Yes, it checks.
Apparently it’s all of them

Answer:
Ellen invested $60 and Bob invested $140
Step-by-step explanation:
let the two amounts invested by 3x and 7x
(notice 3x : 7x = 3 : 7 )
then 3x + 7x = 200
10x = 200
x = 20
then 3x = 3(20) = 60
and 7x = 7(20) = 140
60+140=200
