Juniors brother is 1 1/2 meters tall. Junior is 1 1/5 of his brother height. How tall is Junior

1 answer

To find how tall Junior is, you need to multiply his brother's height by the fraction representing Junior's height as compared to his brother's height.

1 1/5 = 6/5

So, Junior is 6/5 times the height of his brother.

Thus, Junior's height is (6/5) * (1 1/2) meters.

To solve this, you can multiply the whole number and the numerator separately, and then add the results:

(6/5) * (3/2) = (6 * 3) / (5 * 2) = 18/10

Next, you can simplify this fraction by dividing the numerator and the denominator by their greatest common divisor, which is 2:

18/10 = (18/2) / (10/2) = 9/5

So, Junior is 9/5 meters tall.
