It would be -15 as the answer
Answer: 4 bags
Step-by-step explanation: since the height of the wooden boxes are 1.5 feet tall and they need the box to be full it will be 4 bags. Also because each bag contains 1.5 feet of dirt and that’s the exact amount we need for one box.
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.
