Write an equation for this problem: Joe is 4 feet taller than one-third Bob's height. If Joe is 6 feet tall, who is taller?

Question

A. 6 = 1 over 3 b + 4

B. 4 = 1 over 3 b + 6

C. 6 = 1 over 3 b − 4

D. 6 = 2 over 3 b + 4

 Is it B I am not sure

Answer 1

I was thinking choice A.

 

Joe's height is 1/3 of bob's height plus 4 feet

 

     6           =  1/3 * b                 +    4
