2. A swimming pool has two high diving boards. The shorter diving board is 2 1/4 yards high. The taller diving board is 1 1/3 the height of the shorter board. a. How tall is the taller board?

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 yards high

Explanation:

Given the following data

Height of shorter diving board = 2 1/4 yards

If the taller diving board is 1 1/3 the height of the shorter diving board, then;

Height of taller diving board = 1 1/3 of 2 1/4

Height of taller diving board = 4/3 * 9/4

Height of taller diving board = 36/12

Height of taller diving board = 3 yards

Hence the taller board is 3 yards high
