Answer:
63 1/4 inches
Explanation:
If Cruz is 5 1/2 inches taller than Shanid, then we can find Cruz's height by adding 5 1/2 to Shanid's height.
Shanid's height is 57 3/4 inches, so we can add 5 1/2 inches to that as follows:
57 3/4 + 5 1/2
= 57 6/8 + 5 4/8 (converting both fractions to have a common denominator of 8)
= 63 2/8
= 63 1/4
So, Cruz is 63 1/4 inches tall.
