Question

Dennis is 55 5/6 inches tall. Dwight is 1 1/3 inches shorter than Dennis and Jane is 1 1/4 inches shorter than Dwight. How tall is Jane?

Answer 1

53 1/4

Explanation:

55 5/6 - 1 1/3 - 1 1/4 Rewrite with a common denominator

55 10/12 - 1 4/12 - 1 3/12

55 10/12 - 1 4/12 = 54 6/12

54 6/12 - 1 3/12

53 3/12

53 1/4
