Jonathan was 45 inches tall when he started kindergarten. He grew an average of 2.5 inches every year. Jonathan is now 62.5 inch
es tall. Which equation can be used to find how many years ago Jonathan started kindergarten, and how many years ago was it? A. (45 + 62.5) ÷ 2.5 = x 7 years
Since the current height is 62.5, and the starting height is 45, then all you have to do is subtract 45 from 62.5, then divide that by 2.5 to get your answer, which should be 7 years.
Hopefully this helps- let me know if you have any questions!
