If Tyler is 5 inches tall, he needs to grow 7 inches to be a foot tall. This is because 12 inches are in 1 foot. We can do a simple subtraction problem to figure this out.
<u>12 inches - 5 inches = 7 inches</u>
Since Tyler is 5 inches tall, we know that if we subtract 12 inches from 5 inches we will get the number of inches he needs to grow.
I hope this answer helps you out! Let me know if you have any questions and have a wonderful day/night!
