Answer:

4\frac{1}{2} feet further.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since these are mixed numbers that are both in fourths, we can easily subtract the two numbers. However, I find it easier if we first convert both mixed numbers into improper fractions.

5\frac{1}{4} = \frac{5\cdot4+1}{4}  = \frac{21}{4}

9\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9\cdot4+3}{4}  = \frac{39}{4}

Now we can subtract the numerators:

\frac{39}{4} - \frac{21}{4} = \frac{39-21}{4} = \frac{18}{4}

\frac{18}{4} simplifies down to \frac{9}{2}.

Converting  \frac{9}{2} to a mixed number is easy - 2 goes into 9 4 times (8) with one remainder so:

4\frac{1}{2} .

Hope this helped!
