Answer:

From given, we have,

Paul says he is 16 inches shorter than 1 1/2 times Theresa's height.  

Steve says he's 6 inches shorter than 1 1/3 times Theresa's height.

Let the height of Theresa be "x" inches.

So, we get,

For Paul, 1 1/2 x - 16 = T

⇒ 3/2 x - 16 = T ......(1)

For Steve, 1 1/3 x - 6 = T

⇒ 4/3 x - 6 = T .........(2)

equating  equations (1) and (2), we get,

3/2 x - 16 =  4/3 x - 6

6 - 16 = 4/3 x - 3/2 x

-10 = (8 - 9)/6 x

-60 = -x

x = 60 inches.

Therefore, Theresa is 60 inches tall.

Answer: <em>ok so if 60% is under 25 then we can assume 40% is over 25, and then do 40% of 450,000, which is 180,000 .</em>

<em>so we can say that 180,000 people in the town are over 25 years old</em>
