Question

if Kamal was 175 cm tall and the ratio of Kamal's height to Suman was 5:6 then find Garrett's height who was 5 cm taller than Suman​

Answer 1

Answer:

Garrett's height is 215 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Kamal : Suman

 5       :    6

  175   :   ?

You will notice that Kamal's height is 35 times the ratio so Suman height will be multiplied by 35 too. Answer will be 210 cm

Therefore,

Kamal : Suman

 5       :    6

  175   :   210

Gerret 5 cm taller than Suman will be 210+5 = 215 cm

Hope you understood.

Answer 2

Answer:

Height of Garrett = 215 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Height of Kamal = 175 cm

Ratio of Kamal's height to Suman's height = 5:6

Garrett is 5 cm taller than Suman

To find :

Height of Garrett

Concept :

First find the height of Suman . To find the height divide the Kamal ratio from his height than multiply the Suman ratio with the division . After finding the height of Suman add 5cm to find the height of Garrett.

So , the equation will form like this -:

$\boxed{\sf{H=(\dfrac{6}{5}\times175cm)+5cm}}$

Where,

H = Height of Garrett

Solution :

$\leadsto\sf{H=(\dfrac{6}{5}\times175cm)+5cm}$

$\leadsto\sf{H=(6\times35cm)+5cm}$

$\leadsto\sf{H=210cm+5cm}$

$\leadsto\sf{H=215cm}$

So , the height of Garrett is 215 cm .
