Answer:
Mean = 5 feet 2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
1 feet = 12 inches
Height of Dad = 6 feet 2 inches = {(6 × 12)+2} = 74 inches
Mom is 3 inches shorter than dad = 74 - 3 = 71 inches (5 ft 11 in)
Since mom is 2 inches taller than Ivan,
Height of Ivan = 71 - 2 = 69 inches (5 ft 9 in)
Marica is 5 inches shorter than Ivan,
Height of Marica = 69 - 5 = 64 inches (5 ft 4 in)
Marica is twice as tall as Sally-Jo.
Height of Sally-Jo = 64 ÷ 2 = 32 inches (2 ft 8 in)
Hence the mean height of the Schuller family
=
= 62 inches
converting 62 inches to feet = = 5 feet 2 inches
Mean height of the Schuller family is 5 feet 2 inches.
