Answer: Jane is 56 9/20 inches tall

Explanation:

Trina 's height = 53 3/4inches

Jiliam height = 1 1/ 2 inches taller than Trina which means

53 3/4inches + 1 1/ 2 inches

Add whole numbers to whole numbers and fractions to fractions

53+ 1 3/4 + 1/2

54 (3+ 2)/4 = 54 5/4 = 54+ 1 1/4 = 55 1/4 cm

Jane is 1 1 /5 inches taller than Jillian which means

55 1/4 cm +1 1 /5 inches

Add whole numbers to whole numbers and fractions to fractions

55 + 1 1/4 + 1/5

56 (5 + 4)/20 = 56 9/20
