Explanation:

The question has missing details; However, the following explanation will guide.

Represent the boots print with y and the Liz's feet with x

To calculate how much the boot is longer than her feet, we simply get the difference between the length of the boot's print and her feet;

i.e.

`Difference = y - x`

Note that her boot print (y) will always be greater than her feet (x)

Take for instance;

`y = 3\ ft`

`x = 2\ ft`

The difference will be

`Difference = 3ft - 2ft`

`Difference = 1ft`
