Question

Design a program that takes the height of 10 people (you need to take the heights and inches) and calculates average height. Based on the average height of these 10 people, determine if this group is better suited to be an MLB team, NBA team, or a group of Jockeys (e.g. Kentucky Derby). The Input should be be inputed Feet, inches and the output should also feet ,inches. This program should also have a loop as to provide the user with a way out of the program.

/*OUTPUT*/

Enter heights of 10 people:
Enter height of person 1 (in feet and inches): 5 5
Enter height of person 2 (in feet and inches): 6 3
Enter height of person 3 (in feet and inches): 5 8
Enter height of person 4 (in feet and inches): 6 2
Enter height of person 5 (in feet and inches): 7 1
Enter height of person 6 (in feet and inches): 6 0
Enter height of person 7 (in feet and inches): 5 9
Enter height of person 8 (in feet and inches): 6 4
Enter height of person 9 (in feet and inches): 7 1
Enter height of person 10 (in feet and inches): 6 5
Average height is 6 ft 2 inches
This group is better suited to be an MLB Team
