Answer: The giraffe is 1.5 times tall as the zookeeper.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Height of Giraffe = [tex]9\dfrac38\ feet =\dfrac{72+3}{8}\ feet =\dfrac{75}{8}\ feet[/tex]
Height of zookeeper= [tex]6\dfrac14\ feet =\dfrac{24+1}{4}\ feet =\dfrac{25}{4}\ feet[/tex]
Let n = number of times the giraffe is tall as the zookeeper.
[tex]n=\dfrac{\dfrac{75}{8}}{\dfrac{25}{4}}=\dfrac{75\times4}{25\times8} = 1.5[/tex]
Hence, the giraffe is 1.5 times tall as the zookeeper.
