The height of tree is [tex]9\frac{5}{8} \text{ feet}[/tex]
Solution:
Given that shrub in Pam's backyard is about [tex]1\frac{3}{8}[/tex] feet tall
A small tree in her back yard is about 7 times as the shurd
To find: height of tree
From given information,
Height of shrub = [tex]1\frac{3}{8} = \frac{8 \times 1 + 3}{8} = \frac{11}{8} \text{ feet}[/tex]
Given that small tree in her back yard is about 7 times as the shurb
So we get,
height of tree = 7 times the height of shrub
[tex]\text{ height of tree } = 7 \times \text{ height of shrub}\\\\\text{ height of tree } = 7 \times \frac{11}{8}[/tex]
Therefore on solving we get,
[tex]\text{ height of tree } = \frac{77}{8} = 9\frac{5}{8} \text{ feet}[/tex]
Thus the height of tree is [tex]9\frac{5}{8} \text{ feet}[/tex]
