Question

Kayla's sandcastle was 7/12 of a foot tall and her sister's

was 1/6 of a foot tall. How much taller was Kayla's
sandcastle than her sister's?

Answer 1

5/12 inches taller!

Explanation:

Kayla: 7/12 foot tall, and Sister: 2/12 or 1/6 of a foot tall.

No, not the people but the sandcastles. Take 2/12 from 7/12 and you get 5/12.

Answer 2

5/12 taller

Explanation:

1/6 can also be represented as 2/12

Sisters: 2/12

Kayla's: 7/12

7/12 - 2/12 = 5/12
