Stacia was 5 feet tall on her 12th birthday and 5 feet 3 inches tall on her 13th birthday.

What was the percent increase in Stacia's height from her 12th birthday to her 13th birthday? (Hint: convert feet to inches)

Respuesta :

5%

Convert feet to inches by multiplying 5 by 12 (12 inches in 1 foot) 5×12=60

We know 5 feet is 60 inches so 5 feet 3 inches is 63 inches (60+3)

To find percent increase do 63÷60=1.05

1.05=5% increase

Change in percent height is 5%

Given that;

Height on 12 th birthday = 5 feet = 60 inches

Height on 13 th birthday = 5.3 feet = 63 inches

Find:

Change in percent height

Computation:

Change in percent height = [(Height on 13 th birthday - Height on 12 th birthday) / Height on 12 th birthday]100

Change in percent height = [(63 - 60) / 60]100

Change in percent height = [3/60]100

Change in percent height = 300 / 60

Change in percent height = 5%
