Question

anita jared and steph are rock climbing. anita is 42 1/2 feet below jared. steph is 67 3/4 feet above anita. what is stephs position compared to jared? please show your work!

Answer 1

Work:

Jared is between Anita and Steph

67$\frac{3}{4}$ - 42$\frac{1}{2}$

Turn $\frac{1}{2}$ into $\frac{2}{4}$

Now

67$\frac{3}{4}$ - 42$\frac{2}{4}$

Do 67 - 42 first to make it easier
67 - 42 = 25
Then do $\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{2}{4}$

$\frac{3}{4}$ - $\frac{2}{4}$ =$\frac{1}{4}$

Then add the two back together to get 25$\frac{1}{4}$

Remember that Steph is above Jared though.

Answer:

Steph is 25$\frac{1}{4}$ feet above Jared.
