A zoo keeper is 6 1/4 feet tall a young giraffe is 9 3/8 feet tall how many times as tall as the giraffe

2. Then, to calculate how many times as tall as the zookeeper is the girraffe, you only need to divide the height of the giraffe by the height of the zookeeper:

- Let's rewrite each height as a decimal number: divide the numerator and the denominator of the fraction and add the result to the whole number:

[tex](6+0.25)ft=6.25ft[/tex]

[tex](9+0.375)ft=9.375ft[/tex]

- Divide 9.375 feet by 6.25 feet, then you obtain the following result:

[tex]\frac{9.375ft}{6.25ft}=1.5[/tex]

Young Giraffe is taller than the zookeeper. The height of the giraffe is 1.5 times the height of the zoo keeper.

Given:

Height of zoo keeper is [tex]6\dfrac{1}{4}=\dfrac{25}{4}[/tex] feet.

Height of giraffe is [tex]9\dfrac{3}{8}=\dfrac{75}{8}[/tex] feet.

It is required to get the ratio of the height of the giraffe and the zoo keeper.

The ratio of height of the giraffe and the zoo keeper can be calculated as,

[tex]\dfrac{75}{8}\times\dfrac{4}{25}=\dfrac{3}{2}\\=1.5[/tex]

Therefore, the height of the giraffe is 1.5 times the height of the zoo keeper.
