Answer 1

see below

Step-by-step explanation: 5 27 6 46

Corrie is 5 inches taller than Jason who is 4 ft. 9 in

Corrie must be 4 ft. 9 in + 5 in. = 5 ft. 2 in or convert ft to inches and add

[4(12) + 9] + 5 = 62 62/12 = 5 ft. 2 in.

Jennifer is 8 in, shorter than Corrie so Corrie is (5 - 8) inches (-3) inches taller than Jason or 3 in. shorter than Jason

Jennifer is 4 ft. 9 in - 3 in. = 4 ft. 6 in
