Ryan =

He is 3 in. taller than his sister Lizzie. to find how tall is Lizzie we need to substract 3 inches from the height of Ryan, but we can only substract the quantities if they are in the same units.

Thus we convert the 3 inches to feet, since we 1 feet = 12 inches:

so the height of lizzie:

we convert the first mixed number to fraction by multiplying 4 by 12 and adding the numerator 1:

the subtraction becomes:

Lizzie is 23/6 ft tall.

She is 3/4 of a foot taller than her sister Emma, thus we must substract 3/4 from the height of Lizzie to find the height of Emma:

Emma is ft tall.
