2 cousins were visiting (Gail and Randy) for Xmas. The names of the children in the family were Ed, Lisa, and Judy. The family bought presents for all 5 kids, but forgot wrapping paper. Consequently, the gifts were wrapped in strange ways, although every gift was wrapped in something different. One gift was wrapped in a towel. The kids' heights were exactly 3 in. apart (59, 62, 65, 68, and 71 in.). From the clues below, DETERMINE the height of the child, the gift recieved, and the srtange way in which it was wrapped.1. The one who recieved a set of Legos is 3in. shrter than the one who recieved a gift wrapped in a pillowcase. 2. The child who recieved shoes is NOT 59 in tall but is shorter than the child who recieved the picture.3.Randy is shorter than the child who got the belt and one other child, but is taller thn both Gail and the child whose gift was wrapped in a bag. 4. Ed is taller thm the one whose present is wrped in a box5. The child who got the gift wrped in newspapr is shrter than both Lisa and the child who gt candy6. The child whose gift was wrpped in a pillowcase is NOT in the same immediate family as the child who recieved the belt. Please show your work and explain your answer! Thanks! Smile
