**Correct equation:**
\( \text{Height of Tonya} - \text{Height of Mary} = \text{Difference in height} \)
or
\( 68 \, \text{inches} - 65.3 \, \text{inches} \)
**How to solve:**
Subtract the height of Mary from the height of Tonya.
**Correct answer:**
\( 68 - 65.3 = 2.7 \)
Tonya is 2.7 inches taller than Mary.
\( \text{Height of Tonya} - \text{Height of Mary} = \text{Difference in height} \)
or
\( 68 \, \text{inches} - 65.3 \, \text{inches} \)
**How to solve:**
Subtract the height of Mary from the height of Tonya.
**Correct answer:**
\( 68 - 65.3 = 2.7 \)
Tonya is 2.7 inches taller than Mary.
