Answer:

Junior is [tex]3 \frac{3}{10}\ feet[/tex] talls .

Step-by-step explanation:

As given

[tex]Junior's\ brother\ is\ 5 \frac{1}{2}\ feet\ tall.[/tex]

i.e

[tex]Junior's\ brother\ is\ \frac{11}{2}\ feet\ tall.[/tex]

[tex]Junior\ is\ \frac{3}{5}\ of\ his\ brother's\ height.[/tex]

Thus

[tex]Junior\ heights = \frac{3}{5}\times Junior\ brothers\ heights[/tex]

Putting all the values in the formula

[tex]Junior\ heights = \frac{3}{5}\times \frac{11}{2}[/tex]

[tex]Junior\ heights = \frac{33}{10}[/tex]

[tex]Junior\ heights = 3 \frac{3}{10}\ feet[/tex]

Therefore Junior is [tex]3 \frac{3}{10}\ feet[/tex] talls .
