Question

kaits younger sister is 2feet and 9 inches tall.katie is 5 feet and 4 inches tall . what is the difference between their two hights​

Answer 1

Answer:

$2\ ft\ 7\ in$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the difference convert the dimensions to inches

Remember that

$1\ ft=12\ in$

so

katie's younger sister hight is

$2\ ft\ 9\ in=2*12+9=33\ in$

katie's hight is

$5\ ft\ 4\ in=5*12+4=64\ in$

Find the difference

$64\ in-33\ in=31\ in$

Convert to feet and inches

$31\ in=31/12=(24/12)+(7/12)=2+(7/12)=2\ ft\ 7\ in$
