Please help me I posted this before using all my points and now I'm reposting it Bc no one helped me

When Sarah was 6 months old, she was 21 in. tall and her head had a diameter of 4.5 in. Now, at 20
years old, she is 6 ft. 1 in. tall and her head has a diameter of 7.65 in. If Sarah is typical, should a
person at 20 years of age be considered "similar" to herself at 6 months of age? For all parts of the
problem write an equation and solve, showing ALL the work.
a. Find the ratio of height-to-head diameter for Sarah at 6 months old. If the ratio were the
same when she was 20 years old, what diameter would her head have?
b. Find the ratio of height-to-head diameter for Sarah at 20 years old. If the ratio were the
same when she was 6 months old, how tall weld she be at 6 months?

C
How close are the two ratios you found in Part (a) and Part (b)?
d. If Sarah were taller or shorter either at 6 months of age or 20 years of age, would this make
her more or less "similar" at those two ages? Explain.

Answer:

a. ratio of height to head at 6 months old is 21/4.5 =(4.66) (the height is 4.66 times the head)

- if the ratio is the same when she is 20 she would have a head with (6ft 1in =73inches) 73/ 4.66 = 15.67 inches in diameter

b. ratio height to head at 20 yrs old = 73/7.65 = 9.54 (the height is 9.54 times the head)

-she would be about 15.6 * 4.66 = 72.70 inches tall at 20 yrs old if we the ratio at 6 months old

c. in part a ratio is 4.66, in b it is 9.54. it's a big difference

d.if she was taller at 6 months old. her head size will be smaller when she is 20 yrs compare to what we calculate.

the she was shorter at 6 months old. the ratio will be smaller and the head may have been as big as her body
