Question

Sara is 6 feet 3 3/4in tall and Sam is 5 feet 6in. How much taller is Sara then Sam?

Answer 1

Answer:

9    3/4  inches

Step-by-step explanation:

If we are finding how much taller Sara is, we need to subtract

6 ft 3 3/4 - 5 ft  6in

I like to line up vertically

  6 ft 3 3/4

- 5 ft  6in

----------------

We  need to borrow 1 ft and make it 12 inches

  5 ft 3+12  3/4

- 5 ft  6in

----------------

   5 ft 15  3/4

- 5 ft  6in

----------------  

  0     9    3/4  inches
