Question

Rina is 6x + 3:8 feet tall and Ryan is 5x + 1/8 feet tall. How much taller is Rina than Ryan?

Answer 1

Answer: Rina is
`x+(1)/(4)` feet taller than Ryan.

Explanation:

Given, the height of Rina =
`6x+(3)/(8)` feet

The height of Ryan =
`5x+(1)/(8)` feet

To find : How much taller is Rina than Ryan?

Clue : Rina is taller than Ryan.

For that , we need to check the difference of the height between Ryan and Rina

i.e. (height of Rina) - (height of Ryan)

`=6x+(3)/(8)-(5x+(1)/(8))\\\\=6x+(3)/(8)-5x-(1)/(8)\\\\=x+(3-1)/(8)\\\\=x+(2)/(8)\\\\=x+(1)/(4)`

Hence, Rina is
`x+(1)/(4)` feet taller than Ryan.
