Jebb is about [tex]\mathbf{6\dfrac{3}{8} ft }[/tex] tall.

If Jebb is the tallest player with a height 1 1/2 times as tall as the shortest girl.

Given that the height of the shortest girl = 4 1/4 ft tall.

Then, we can say the height of Jebb is:

[tex]\mathbf{= 1 \dfrac{1}{2} \times \Big(4 \dfrac{1}{4}\Big) ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{3}{2} \times \Big(\dfrac{17}{4}\Big) ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{= \dfrac{51}{8} ft }[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{= 6\dfrac{3}{8} ft }[/tex]
