How much is the difference between 6‘4“ in 5 1/2 feet

Question

Paul is 6 feet in for just told his brothers 5 1/2 feet tall and how much taller is Paul

Answer 1

You need to first convert the measurements so they are using the same measurements. The easiest measurement to use is inches. Since there are 12 inches in every foot, you can find the number of inches of 6 ft by multiplying it by 12 inches. Then, you can add the extra 4 inches to get the total number of inches. Then, you can find the number of inches in 5 feet the same way, by multiplying 5 x 12. Then, you would add the additional 6 inches (since half of 12 inches, or 1 foot, is 6 inches). Then take your two totals and subtract to find the difference between the two heights.
