stu is 4 feet tall.this height represents 6/7 of his brothers height.the equation 6/7h=4 can be used to find the height h,in feet,of stus brother.how tall is stus brother?
I will revise this for 48, not 4, and h will be in inches.
6/7h=48
1/7h=8
1/1h=56
h=56 inches h= 4'8"
6/7h = 4
Solve the equation.
Divide 6/7 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 7/6.
h = 4 * 7/6
h = 28/6
Convert to mixed number:
h = 4 2/3
