Given
- The height of the student is given as 4 feet.
- The height of the teacher is given as 5 and 2/3 feet.
Solution
First, convert the Teacher's height to an Improper Fraction
- 5 and 2/3
- 5 times 3 = 15
- 15 + 2 = 17, then copy denominator
- 17/3
Calculate the Fraction of the Teacher's Height
- 4 divide 17/3
- when division, the right side should be reciprocal
- So, 4 x 3/17
Simplify
- 4 x 3/17
- 4 x 3 = 12 ; 1 x 17 = 17
- 12/17
Answer
The student's height is 12/17 of the teacher's height.
