Answer 1

Answer:

Sally is 25/24 times as tall as May

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the height of Jenny

We are given that sally is 5/6 as tall as Jenny

So, Sally's height =$\frac{5}{6}x$

We are also given that May is 4/5 as tall as Jenny

So, May's height =$\frac{4}{5}x$

$\frac{\text{Sally's height }}{\text{May's height}}=\frac{\frac{5}{6}x}{\frac{4}{5}x}=\frac{5}{6} \times \frac{5}{4}=\frac{25}{24}$

So, Sally is 25/24 times as tall as May
