Question

Jaclyn is one-fourth of a foot taller than John. John is 31/6 feet tall. How many feet tall is Jaclyn

Answer 1

5 5/12

Explanation:

31/6 feet + 1/4 foot

= 31/6 + 1/4

= [(31 * 4) / 6 * 4] + [(1 * 6) / 4 * 6]

= [ 124/24 ] + [ 6/24 ]

= (124 + 6) / 24

= 130 / 24

= 5 10/24

= 5 5/12

Hope this helps! Tell me if I'm wrong!
