Question

Mukta's height is 3.5m, Snehil's height is 1.5 times of Mukta's height. Find Snehil's height.

• A. 5.5m
• B. 5.25m
• C. 5 m
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B 5.25m

Given,
Snehil's height $=1.5\times$Mukta's height
$=1.5\times 3.5$
Steps to solve $1.5\times 3.5$
Step 1: Count the number of digits after decimal point for both the numbers and add them.i.e$1+1=2$

Step 2: Ignore a decimal point and perform the multiplication, as you would with whole numbers as follows

Step 3: Now place a decimal point back.
0.26 has 2 decimal places. So, move the decimal point 2 places to the left in the product.

Hence, Snehil's height is 5.25m
