Given:

Suzanne, Latisha, and Morgan measure their. Suzanne is 0.8 times the height of Latish, and Morgan is 1.09 times the height of Latisha.

To find:

Who is the tallest? Use paper to draw to tape diagram to help you solve the problem and to explain your reasoning.

Solution:

Consider the attached figure, while going through the following steps:

Let the height of Latisha be "x"

Suzanne is 0.8 times the height of Latish = 0.8 × x

Morgan is 1.09 times the height of Latisha = 1.09 × x

1.09 × x > x > 0.8 × x

If x = 1, we get,

1.09 × 1 > 1 > 0.8 × 1

1.09 > 1 > 0.8  

Morgan > Latisha > Suzanne

Morgan is the tallest.

Second tallest is Latisha

And the third tallest is Suzanne.

Therefore, the tallest is Morgan.
