Step-by-step explanation:
Ajax is "5 and 1 fourth feet tall", which can be written as the mixed number
.
His sister is "3 eighths foot shorter", so she's 3/8 feet shorter than 5 1/4.
So, this is just a subtraction problem:

To solve this, we want to convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction, which is:
. Now, we want to find a common denominator. In this case, that common denominator is 8, so
.
Finally, we subtract 3/8 from 42/8:
. So, Ajax's sister is 39/8 feet. Converting this into a mixed number, we have: 39/8 = 4
.
Therefore, Ajax's sister is
feet tall.
Hope this helps!
