Mr. Girson is exactly 6.25 feet tall. His daughter is half his height. Which equation would provide the best estimate of how many feet taller Mr. Girson is than his daughter?

6 - 6 : 2 = 3

6 + 6 : 2 = 9

6 - 1/2 - 6 = 1/2

6 + 1/2 + 6 = 12 1/2

    6 - 6 : 2 = 3

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Mr. G is 6.25 ft tall

    Daughter G is 1/2 his height

    Daughter = 1/2 (6.25)

    We want to find how much taller Mr G is than his daughter

    Take Mr G height and subtract his daughters

    6.25 - 1/2 (6.25)

    The question asks for an estimate, so we can round 6.25 to 6

    6 - 1/2 (6) = 3

    A

    Step-by-step explanation:

    None of them really. But the first one is the expected answer. The question is a good one because it involves estimation. He is approximately 6 feet.

    His daughter is 6/2 = 3. You divide by 2 because she is 1/2 his height.

    The first equation tells you that he is 3 feet taller than his daughter. It should be written as

    6 - (6:2) = ?

    6 - 3 = 3 which is A
