Last year Jonathan was 59 and 5/8 inches tall. This year he is 64 and 3/8 inches tall. How many

inches did he grow?

Answer 1

Answer: John grew 4 and 3/4 inches in one year.

Explanation:

Start by subtracting 64.375 (64 and 3/8) by 59.625 (59 and 5/8).

Type your numbers into a calculator (both ways can be put into your calculator, but decimals are easier for you to type)

Get your final answer of 4.75.
