Question

I need help with this question**
Robert is 67 1/4 inches tall, his brother Howard is 75 1/2 inches tall. How much taller is Howard than Robert?

Answer 1

If you are measuring by feet, you would convert the fraction form since you are using feet and inches. One person is 67 1/4 tall and the other is 75 1/2 tall so when the fractions are converted (by dividing exp. 1/4) you will get 67.25 and 75.5. If you subtract those two numbers, you will see that Howard is 8.25 taller than Robert. When converted back, it is 8ft and 1/4 inches.

I hope I helped and I'm not one hundred percent sure if I did this correctly but I hope it all works well :)
