Dan weighs 205 pounds but is only 5 feet 8 inches tall. Evan is 6 feet tall. How much would you expect Evan to weigh if they have the same height/weight ratio?
A. 153.75 lbs
B. 180 lbs
C. 217.06 lbs
D. 193.61 lbs



Answer :

Answer: c

Step-by-step explanation:
Let's convert the height into inches.

5 feet 8 = 5\cdot12 + 8 = 60 + 8 = 68

6 feet = 6\cdot12 = 72.

We can set up a proportion

(205)/(68) = (x)/(72)

We can use the cross products property to find x.

205\cdot72=14760\n\n\n14760/68\approx217

Hope this helped!
