Monica Montes · Answer 1

I will revise this for 48, not 4, and h will be in inches.

6/7h=48

1/7h=8

1/1h=56

h=56 inches h = 4'8"

Zain Parsons · Answer 2

6/7h = 4

Solve the equation.

Divide 6/7 to both sides or multiply by its reciprocal, 7/6.

h = 4 * 7/6

h = 28/6

Convert to mixed number:

h = 4 2/3
