Question

5. Two shelves are on a wall with one directly above the other. One shelf is 4 5/6 feet above the floor and the other is 5% 9/10 feet above the floor. Find the distance between the shelves.​

Answer 1

5 9/10 - 4 5/6 = (5x10+9)/10 - (4x6+5)/6 = 59/10 - 29/6 = 177/30 - 145/30 = 32/30 = 1 1/15 feet apart
