Answer :
This can be expressed as :
195% of Jack's height ( x) is esual to 97.5
→ 195/100 *x = 97.5
x (height ) = 97.5 /1.95
= 50 feet
• This means that Jack's height is 50 feet tall,.
{Extra notes: This is true because 195% of 50 = 195*50/100 = 97 .5}
To find Jack's height, we set up the equation 97.5 inches = 1.95 x Height, since 195% is equivalent to 1.95 as a decimal. Solving this equation, Jack's height is determined to be 50 inches.
Jack can long jump 195% of his height. If he can long jump 97.5 inches, we can determine his height by setting up a proportion. Since 195% is equal to 1.95 in decimal form (because 100% is equal to 1), we can express Jack's jumping ability as:
Jumping distance = 1.95 imes Height
Substituting the given jumping distance:
97.5 inches = 1.95 * Height
To find his height, divide both sides of the equation by 1.95:
Height = {97.5}/{1.95}
Height = 50 inches
Therefore, Jack is 50 inches tall.
