For the past 4 years, Jesse has grown 3 inches each year. He is now 15 years old and is 5 feet 6 inches tall. He predicts that when he is 20 years old, he will be 6 feet 9 inches tall. What would you tell Jesse about his prediction?

Respuesta :

He estimates that he will stand 6 feet 9 inches tall when he is 20 years old. His prediction is correct.

How to check Jesse's prediction?

Given: Growth per year = 3 inches

Height at 15 yrs of age = 5'6''

Height at 20 yrs of age = 6'9''(predicted)

We know that Jesse grows 3 inches every year.

In 5 years(15yrs - 20yrs) his growth = 5 × 3 = 15 inches.

At 15 years(present) height = 5'6''

At 20 years (future) height = 5'6'' + 15'' = 6'9'' (since, 1ft = 12 inches)

Thus, Jesse's prediction is correct
