Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
You would divide 35 by 4/7 and you would get 20.
Jaden is 35 inches tall. He is 4/7 as tall as his brother, so his brother is 61 inches taller than him .
Given:
Represent Jaden with j and his brother with B.
The first statement implies that:
[tex]J = 35[/tex] [tex]in[/tex]
The second statement implies that:
[tex]J = \frac{4}{7}[/tex][tex]B[/tex]
Required
Find B
[tex]J = \frac{4}{7}B[/tex] and [tex]J = 35[/tex] [tex]in[/tex]
Equate both expressions:
[tex]J = J[/tex]
[tex]\frac{4}{7} B = 35[/tex]
Multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{7}{4} * \frac{4}{7} B = 35 * \frac{7}{4}[/tex]
[tex]B= 35* \frac{7}{4}[/tex]
[tex]B = \frac{35 * 7}{4}[/tex]
[tex]B= \frac{245}{4}[/tex]
[tex]B= 61.25 in[/tex]
[tex]B = 61 in[/tex]--- approx.
Hence, his brother is 61 inches tall.
