• size 2 is for people 60 inches tall or taller.

juan’s height is 145 centimeters. which size would fit juan? circle one.
size 1 size 2
explain your thinking.
4 inches ≈ 10 centimeters

Explanation:

Step1: Convert Juan's height to inches

We know that 4 inches ≈ 10 centimeters. So, to convert 145 centimeters to inches, we can set up a proportion. Let \( x \) be the height in inches. Then \(\frac{4}{10}=\frac{x}{145}\). Cross - multiplying gives \( 10x = 4\times145=580 \), so \( x=\frac{580}{10} = 58 \) inches.

Step2: Compare with size requirements

Size 1 is for people less than 60 inches tall, and Size 2 is for people 60 inches or taller. Since 58 inches < 60 inches, Juan's height meets the requirement for Size 1.

Answer:

Size 1 (the circled one should be Size 1)
