Question

Jane planted a lemon tree and a cherry tree. The lemon tree is 4 1/5
feet tall. The cherry tree is 1 1/3
times as tall as the lemon tree. How tall is Jane's cherry tree?

Answer 1

To find the height of the cherry tree, we first need to find the height of the lemon tree.

Lemon tree height = 4 1/5 feet
Cherry tree height = (1 1/3) * (4 1/5)
Cherry tree height = (4/3) * (21/5)
Cherry tree height = 84/15
Cherry tree height = 5 9/15
Cherry tree height = 5 3/5 feet

Therefore, Jane's cherry tree is 5 3/5 feet tall.
