Answer: Leon is 53/12 feet tall (4 5/12)

Explanation:

Hi, to answer this question we have to subtract the height difference (1/3 ) to the Older brother's height. (4 3/4).

Mathematically speaking:

4 3/4 -1/3 = (4x4+3)/4 -1/3 = 19/4 -1/3 = 57/12-4/12 = 53/12 feet

Leon is 53/12 feet tall (4 5/12)

Feel free to ask for more if needed or if you did not understand something.
