Mrs.Tate is 5 feet 3 inches tall. Her daughter is 4 feet 8 inches tall. How much taller is Mrs.Tate than her daughter?

A) 5 inches
B) 7 inches
C) 1 foot 5 inches
D) 1 foot 7 inches

Respuesta :

Answer: 7 inches (choice B)

========================================================

Explanation:

1 foot = 12 inches

5 feet = 60 inches (multiply both sides by 5)

5 ft, 3 in = 63 inches (add 3 inches to both sides)

Through similar steps, you should find that 4 ft 8 in converts to 56 inches

The difference is 63-56 = 7 inches
