Mrs. Tolliver's sin Eric is 5 2/6 feet tall, and her daughter Jackie is 4 3/4 feet tall. How much is Eric than Jackie?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Method 1:

5 1/3 - 4 3/4 =

5 4/12 - 4 9/12 =

4 16/12 - 4 9/12 = 7/12

Eric is 7/12 of a foot, or 7 inches, taller than Jackie.

Method 2:

Eric: 5 1/3 feet = 5(12) + (1/3)(12) =

60 + 4 = 64 inches

Jackie: 4 3/4 feet = 4(12) + (3/4)(12) =

48 + 9 = 57 inches

Eric is 64 - 57 = 7 inches taller than Jackie.
