Mr. girson is exactly 6.25 feet tall. his daughter is half his height. which equation would provide the best estimate of how many feet taller mr. girson is than his daughter?
6 – 6 ÷ 2 = 3
6 + 6 ÷ 2 = 9
6 – 1/2 – 6 = 1/2
6 + 1/2 + 6 = 12 1/2

A

Step-by-step explanation:

None of them really. But the first one is the expected answer. The question is a good one because it involves estimation. He is approximately 6 feet.

His daughter is 6/2 = 3. You divide by 2 because she is 1/2 his height.

The first equation tells you that he is 3 feet taller than his daughter. It should be written as

6 - (6÷2) = ?

6 - 3 = 3 which is A

6 – 6 ÷ 2 = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. G is 6.25 ft tall

Daughter G is 1/2 his height

Daughter = 1/2 (6.25)

We want to find how much taller Mr G is than his daughter

Take Mr G height and subtract his daughters

6.25 - 1/2 (6.25)

The question asks for an estimate, so we can round 6.25 to 6

6 - 1/2 (6) = 3

both equations and proportions are better.
