Solution
The average height of the four girls is 150 cm.
Hence, the total height of the four girls is 150*4 = 600 cm.
The average height of three of the four girls is 148 cm.
Their total height is 148*3 = 444 cm
Hence, the height of the fourth girl is 600-444 = 156 cm
The average height of the four girls is 150 cm.
Hence, the total height of the four girls is 150*4 = 600 cm.
The average height of three of the four girls is 148 cm.
Their total height is 148*3 = 444 cm
Hence, the height of the fourth girl is 600-444 = 156 cm
