To find out how much taller Mark is than John, we need to subtract John's height from Mark's height.
First, let's convert both heights to inches.
John is 4 feet 8 inches, which is equal to 4 * 12 + 8 = 48 + 8 = 56 inches.
Mark is 6 feet 4 inches, which is equal to 6 * 12 + 4 = 72 + 4 = 76 inches.
Now, we can subtract John's height (56 inches) from Mark's height (76 inches) to find the difference.
76 inches - 56 inches = 20 inches.
Therefore, Mark is 20 inches taller than John.
To convert this back to feet and inches, we divide 20 by 12 to get 1 foot 8 inches.
So the correct answer is: 1 foot 8 inches.
