The longest suit in the human skeleton is the femur, which is about a quarter

The longest suit in the human skeleton is the femur, which is about a quarter of the height of an adult; if one is 1.74 and the second is 1.55, determine the length of the femur of one and the other.

A quarter of 100% = 100%: 4 = 25%.

The femur is approximately 25% of the height of an adult.

For the first person:

1.74 meters – 100%;

x meters – 25%;

x = 1.74 * 25%: 100% = 0.435 meters;

1 meter = 100 centimeters;

0.435 meters = 0.435 * 100 centimeters = 43.5 centimeters.

For the second person:

1.55 meters – 100%;

x meters – 25%;

x = 1.55 * 25%: 100% = 0.3875 meters;

0.3875 meters = 0.3875 * 100 centimeters = 38.75 centimeters.
