Answer:

4\frac{3}{4} feet tall

Step-by-step explanation:

Ajax is "5 and 1 fourth feet tall", which can be written as the mixed number 5\frac{1}{4} .

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:

5\frac{1}{4} -\frac{3}{8}

To solve this, we want to convert 5 1/4 into an improper fraction, which is: \frac{21}{4} . Now, we want to find a common denominator. In this case, that common denominator is 8, so \frac{21}{4} =\frac{42}{8} .

Finally, we subtract 3/8 from 42/8: \frac{42}{8} -\frac{3}{8} =\frac{39}{8} . So, Ajax's sister is 39/8 feet. Converting this into a mixed number, we have: 39/8 = 4\frac{6}{8} =4\frac{3}{4} .

Therefore, Ajax's sister is 4\frac{3}{4} feet tall.

Hope this helps!

Nikolay [14]

Answer:

9 feet 1 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

So, to get the answer we want to add the heights of the boxes.

2 feet, 4 inches + 2 feet 11 inches = 4 feet 15 inches. 4 feet 15 inches + 3 feet 10 inches = 7 feet and 25 inches. 25 inches is equal to 2 feet and 1 inch, so we end up with 9 feet and 1 inch as our answer.

Why is a number raised to the zero power ALWAYS one and never any other number?
alexdok [17]

Do you know how to simplify, let's say for example,    x⁵/x²  ?

When the bases are the same, you can just subtract the exponent in
the denominator from the exponent in the numerator.  So  x⁵/x² = x³ .

Now look at  x⁷/x⁷ .  From that same handy tip, x⁷/x⁷ = x⁰ .

BUT ... any fraction with the same number on top and bottom
is equal to ' 1 '.  So  x⁰ = 1 , no matter what 'x' happens to be.

Does that do anything for you ?
