Respuesta :

Work:

Jared is between Anita and Steph

67[tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex] - 42[tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

Turn [tex] \frac{1}{2} [/tex] into [tex] \frac{2}{4} [/tex]

Now

67[tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex] - 42[tex] \frac{2}{4} [/tex]

Do 67 - 42 first to make it easier
67 - 42 = 25
Then do [tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex] - [tex] \frac{2}{4} [/tex]

[tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex] - [tex] \frac{2}{4} [/tex] =[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

Then add the two back together to get 25[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex]

Remember that Steph is above Jared though.

Answer:

Steph is 25[tex] \frac{1}{4} [/tex] feet above Jared.
