Question

Rina is 6x + 3:8 feet tall and Ryan is 5x + 1/8 feet tall. How much taller is Rina than Ryan?

Answer 1

Answer: Rina is $x+\dfrac{1}{4}$ feet taller than Ryan.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, the height of Rina = $6x+\dfrac{3}{8}$ feet

The height of Ryan = $5x+\dfrac{1}{8}$ feet

To find : How much taller is Rina than Ryan?

Clue : Rina is taller than Ryan.

For that , we need to check the difference of the height between Ryan and Rina

i.e. (height of Rina) - (height of Ryan)

$=6x+\dfrac{3}{8}-(5x+\dfrac{1}{8})\\\\=6x+\dfrac{3}{8}-5x-\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\=x+\dfrac{3-1}{8}\\\\=x+\dfrac{2}{8}\\\\=x+\dfrac{1}{4}$

Hence, Rina is $x+\dfrac{1}{4}$ feet taller than Ryan.
