Total number of girls after 2 more girls joined the group
= 7 + 2
= 9
New average height after 2 more girls joined the group
= 139 + 10
= 149 cm
Total height of 7 girls
= 7 x 139
= 973 cm
Total height of 9 girls
= 9 x 149
= 1341 cm
Total height of Kimberly and Jean
= 1341 - 973
= 368 cm
Answer(s): 368 cm
