Question

mixed fractions the sum is 127 1/4 for both and kiesha is just 64 1/2. need to know what brent is

Answer 1

Kiesha's height  = 64 1/2 in = 129/2 in.

Let Brent's height = x  in.

The sum of their height's = 127 1/4 in = 509/4 in.

The above situation represent the equation x  + 129/2 = 509/4.

Subtract 129/2 from each side.

x  = (509/4) - (129/2)

x  = (509 - 258)/4

x  = 251/4

Brent's height = 251/4 inches or 62 3/4 inches.
