is simply the difference of both amounts, but firstly let's convert the mixed fractions to improper, and subtract.

Answer:
157.48 inches
How I got the answer:
All I used was a yard stick
Answer:
25 in and 9 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Using Pythagoras' identity
The square on the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares on the other 2 sides.
let x be the missing side
A
x² = 7² + 24² = 49 + 576 = 625 ( take square root of both sides )
x =
= 25
B
x² + 12² = 15²
x² + 144 = 225 ( subtract 144 from both sides )
x² = 81 ( take square root of both sides )
x =
= 9
If they are 36 together, and Marsha is twice Mary then do 2x+x=36
Saying that Marsha is twice Mary.
38.4 is the answer super easy and could just look it up
