Answer:

Kevin is taller

Explanation:

If you turn both mix numbers into an improper fraction and then divide you get 5.5 for 5 and 1/2 (Kevin's height) and 5.375 for 5 3/8 (Jane's height). To get the improper fraction from the mix number (if you were wondering) you do the whole number times the denominator plus the numerator

Answer:

Kevin is taller.

Explanation:

5 1/2 can be turned into 5 4/8 so then it means

Kevin: 5 4/8

Jane: 5 3/8

Which is Bigger?

Kevin
