One year ago, a tiger cub was 5 feet shorter than its mother. However, it grew 2 feet, and now its mother is only twice its size. How big was the tiger cub one years ago?

1 foot

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the cub is 1 foot, that means the mother is 6 ft.

Assuming that the mother does not grow and the cub grows 2 feet, a year later the cub is 3 feet and the mother is 6 feet.

3 is half of 6, meaning the mother is twice the cub.
