Corrie is 5 inches taller than Jason who is 4 ft. 9 in. Jennifer is 8 in shorter than Corrie. How tall are Corrie and Jennifer?
(Express answers in simplest terms.)
Corrie.
Jennifer.​

Corrie = 5 ft.  2 in.

Jennifer = 4 ft.  6 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you convert Jason's height to inches then it would be 57 in.

4 x 12 = 48 in.     48 + 9 = 57 in.

To find Corrie's height you just have to add 5 inches to Jason's height.

57 + 5 = 62 in.

And to find Jennifer's height you just subtract 8 inches from Corrie's height.

62 - 8 =  54 in.

Now all you need to do is convert Corrie and Jennifer's height into feet. You have to divide Corrie and Jennifer's height by 12 inches. And if there are leftover or remaining numbers once you divide, they are just inches that you add on after the feet.

Jennifer's height =  54 / 12 = 4 feet and 6 inches are left over.

Corrie's height = 62 / 12 = 5 feet and 2 inches are left over.

65
