To figure out who is taller, we can take each mixed number and find a common denominator.

5/16 (x3) 15/48
7/24 (x2) 14/48

This tells us that Ben is taller because Marcus is shorter than him by 1/48.

Answer:

Ben is taller than Marcus

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of Marcus = 5\frac{7}{24}feet

To write this mixed fraction in decimal the we need to split it and add the two terms-

5\frac{7}{24} = 5 + \frac{7}{24} = 5 + 0.291 = 5.291

∴Height of Marcus = 5.291feet

Height of Ben = 5\frac{5}{16}feet

Similarly we can write this also in decimal as-

5\frac{5}{16} = 5 + \frac{5}{16} = 5 + 0.313= 5.313

∴Height of Ben= 5.313feet

∴ Ben is taller than Marcus
