Question

Jordan is 4 feet 8 inches tall. Her mother is 5 feet 10 inches tall . How much taller is Jordans mother than Jordan? Give your answer in feet and inches.

Answer 1

Jordan's mom is 1 feet and 2 inches taller because 5ft and 10in minus 4ft and 8ft is 1ft and 2in

Answer 2

4 ft = 48 in
48 + 8 = 56 in 
Jordan is 56 in tall
                                                            70 - 56 = 14 in       14 in = 1 ft 2 in

5 ft = 60 in
60 + 10 = 70 in                                 
Her mom is 70 in tall
