if luis is 62 inches tall how tall are maria and juan?

Answer 1

Answer:

Maria is 5.5 feet and Juan is 4.25 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

1 foot = 12 inches

Convert feet to inches:

1 foot = 12 inches

1 1/4 feet = 12 x 1 1/4 = 15 inches

1/3 foot = 12 x 1/3 = 4 inches

Find the height of Maria:

Luis = 62 inches

Maria is 1/3 foot taller than luis.

Maria = 62 inches + 1/3 foot

Maria = 62 inches + 4 inches

Maria = 66 inches or 5.5 feet

Find the height of Juan:

Maria = 66 inches

Juan is 1 1/4 feet shorter than Maria.

Juan = 66 inches - 1 1/4 feet

Juan = 66 inches - 15 inches

Juan = 51 inches or 4.25 feet

Answer: Maria is 5.5 feet and Juan is 4.25 feet
