Before going into the details of the problem, let us first write down the most important information required for solving this problem. 1 ft = 12 inches The distance that was crawled by Jack = 4 ft = (4 * 12) inches = 48 inches The distance crawled by Christine = 3/4 of the distance crawled by Jack = (3/4) * 48 inches = 3 * 12 inches = 36 inches Then The total distance crawled by the two children's = (48 + 36) inches = 84 inches So Jack and Christine together crawled a distance of 84 inches.
