A person's walking stride is about 0.413 times the person's height in inches. Your friend's stride is 27.258 inches. How tall is your friend in feet?

The height of the friend is 5.5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the height of the friend = m inches

The walking stride of friend = 27. 258 inches

Now, The walking stride rate = 0.413 times (Person's height in inches)

⇒ 27. 258 inches = 0.413 x (m inches)

or, m = 27.258 / 0.413 = 66 inches

or, m = 66 inches

Now, 1 inch = 0.08333 foot

So, 66 inches = 66 x (0.08333 foot) = 5.5 ft

Hence, the height of the friend is 5.5 feet.
