If a man is 1.5 m tall at age 12 and his adult height is 1.19 times his height at that age, what will be his predicted height as an adult?

1.65 m
1.75 m
1.80 m
1.785 m

The correct answer is: 1.785 m

To determine the predicted adult height, you begin with the man's height at age 12, which is 1.5 meters. The calculation for his adult height involves multiplying his height at age 12 by 1.19. Performing the multiplication: 1.5 m (height at age 12) × 1.19 = 1.785 m. Thus, the predicted height as an adult, calculated from his age 12 height, is indeed 1.785 meters. This calculation reflects the method used to project growth based on growth factors established in pediatric growth studies. The multiplication factor of 1.19 indicates a standard growth pattern in height from childhood to adulthood. Other options may present different values, but they do not correctly apply the growth factor to the initial height, leading to inaccuracies in predicting the man's adult height.
