The stilts increase a person's height by 1.5 yards. If Bonnie, who is 5 feet and 7 inches tall, walks on stilts, how tall will she be.

10 feet 1 inch

1.5 yards = 4.5 feet

4 feet, 6 inches + 5 feet, 7 inches = ?

Correct. :-)

Well, if Bonnie is 5 feet 7 inches tall, we can convert that into a more stilt-friendly measurement. Let's see...let's convert it into yards because we're talking about stilts here. So, Bonnie is about 1.72 yards tall without any stilts. Now, if she puts on those magical stilts that increase her height by 1.5 yards, we just have to add those two measurements together. So, Bonnie would be approximately 3.22 yards tall if she walks on stilts. That's quite the height boost! She might need to watch out for low-hanging chandeliers though.

To find Bonnie's height when she walks on stilts, we first need to convert her height from feet and inches to yards.

1 yard = 3 feet

Since Bonnie is 5 feet tall, we divide 5 by 3 to convert it to yards:

5 feet / 3 feet = 1.67 yards

Next, we convert the inches to yards. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we divide 7 inches by 12 to get the equivalent in feet:

7 inches / 12 inches/foot = 0.58 feet

Then, we divide 0.58 feet by 3 to convert it to yards:

0.58 feet / 3 feet = 0.19 yards

Now, we can add Bonnie's height in yards and the height increase from the stilts:

1.67 yards (Bonnie's height) + 0.19 yards (stilt increase) = 1.86 yards

Therefore, when Bonnie walks on stilts, she will be approximately 1.86 yards tall.
