Sara is 6 feet 3 3/4in tall and Sam is 5 feet 6in. How much taller is Sara then Sam?

PLZ PLZ HELP!!!

Answer 1

9 3/4 inches

Explanation:

If we are finding how much taller Sara is, we need to subtract

6 ft 3 3/4 - 5 ft 6in

I like to line up vertically

6 ft 3 3/4

- 5 ft 6in

----------------

We need to borrow 1 ft and make it 12 inches

5 ft 3+12 3/4

- 5 ft 6in

----------------

5 ft 15 3/4

- 5 ft 6in

----------------

0 9 3/4 inches
