Quizplus · Accepted Answer

We can set up a proportion to relate the height of Ann and Rachael on Earth to their heights on planet Z.
5.2 ft / x = 88 foosi / 92 foosi
Cross-multiplying, we get:
88 * x = 5.2 * 92
Simplifying:
x = (5.2 * 92) / 88
x = 5.4 ft
Therefore, Rachael is 5.4 feet tall on Earth.
