2) Classmates

Bob, Tim and Lisa are classmates, but they differ greatly in their heights. Tim is 14 inches taller than Lisa. The difference between Tim and Bob's height is two inches less than between Bob and Lisa's. Tim at 6 feet 6 inches is the tallest in the class.

How tall are Bob and Lisa?

Bob is 5'10" and Lisa is 5'4".

Sassy: so close. It helps to think completely in terms of inches. Tim is 78" and 14" taller than Lisa, so she is 64". You got that part right...

Sooooooo...that means Bob is actually 6' or 72" tall (and now not too short for me *LOL*).

That would make his height difference with Tim as 6" and his height difference with Lisa as 8".

Got me before I could actually focus this morning. I AM a blonde at times you know! *grin*
