Maths Measurements.

Today for Maths Lisa-Maree was teaching us and we started to measure our feet and how tall we are. Here's the word problem. Brooke said "You are as tall as 5 and a half of your feet." Is this true? I think no because a foot isn't an accurate measurement and everyone's feet are different sizes. My foot is 22.5 cm long. Then we had to work out our measurement times 5.5. We used a calculator. So mine was 22.5 x 5.5 = 123.75 cm tall only if Brooke's statement was correct. If I measure myself with a meter ruler or a tape measure I am 146.5 cm tall. This proves that Brooke's statement was false.
How tall are you?
