  • B. 72 inches
  • C. 70.22 inches
  • D. 70 inches

  • Correct Answer
  • 72.42 inches 

    Explanation

    Overall height = (n1a1 + n2a2) / (n1 + n2)
    n1= 20,
    a1 = 5 ft 11 inches = 5 x 12 + 11 = 71 inches
    n2= 18,
    a2 = 6 ft 2 inches = 6 x 12 + 2 = 74 inches

    ? Overall height = [(20) (71) + (18) (74)] / (20+18)
    = (1420 + 1332) / 38 = 72.42 inches
