Carla's plant was 10 2/3 inches tall. yolanda's was 8 3/4 inches tall. how much taller was carla's plant than yolanda's?

It is easy to subtract fractions by converting them into decimals first. To convert is numerator divided by denominator. So, 10 1/2 would be 10.5 and 8 3/4 would be 8. 75. Now, you can subtract them. Start at the hundredth place so subtract 5 from 0 ( because 10.5 can also be 10.50) so it would be 5. Next,  5 -7 ( so you borrow 1 from 10 so 5 would become 15 and 10 is 9) is 7. Last, subtract your whole number. 9 - 8 = 1. So, your answer would be 1. 75. To convert it to fraction, you need to write it as 1 75/ 100 and simplify it which is 1 3/4. So, Carla's plant is 1 3/4 inches taller than Yolanda's plant Hope it helps

i think there was a typo. you wrote pat brings 3 quarts of ice-cream to the party. each serving of ice-cream is 1 6 quart. how many total servings of ice-cream does pat bring to the party? i think the bold is supposed to be 1/6. so 1 quart of ice cream = 6 servings. 6 * 3 = 18.

the answer is 18.
