Aman that is 6 feet tall weighs 165 pounds. use this information to predict the weight of a man that is 5 1/ 2 feet tall. i got 151 is these the right answer

This problem is an example of ratio and proportion. A ratio is a comparison between two different things. You are given the height and weight of a man at 6 feet and 165 pounds. Also you are given 5 ½ feet. You are required to find the weight of the man at 5 ½ feet. So,  

6 feet/165 pounds = 5 ½ feet/ weight 
Weight = 5 ½ feet/ (6 feet/165 pounds) 
Weight = 151.25 pounds

Bis the answer! hope this
