Answer:

7/6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the height of Jenny H. Then, we have that:

Height of Sally = (7/8)*H

Height of May = (6/8)*H

To compare the height of Sally and May, we just need to divide them:

Height of Sally / Height of May = (7/8)*H / (6/8)*H

= (7/8) / (6/8) = (7/8) * (8/6) = 7/6

So Sally is 7/6 times higher than May.
