Answer 1

Answer:

The dog is 20 inches tall now.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of dog when it was a puppy = $5\frac{1}{2}$ inches

Height of dos now = $14\frac{1}{2}$ than previous height

It means that we will add this height in the height of dog when it was a puppy.

Height of dog now = $5\frac{1}{2}+14\frac{1}{2}$

Height of dog = $\frac{11}{2}+\frac{29}{2}=\frac{11+29}{2}=\frac{40}{2}$

Height of dog = 20 inches

Hence,

The dog is 20 inches tall now.
