To find the difference in height between Bobby and Catherine, we need to subtract Catherine's height from Bobby's height.
Bobby's height is 98/2 inches.
Catherine's height is 121/3 inches.
To subtract fractions, the denominators must be the same. Let's convert both fractions to have a denominator of 6.
For Bobby's height:
98/2 * 3/3 = (98*3)/(2*3) = 294/6
For Catherine's height:
121/3 * 2/2 = (121*2)/(3*2) = 242/6
Now we can subtract the two heights:
Bobby's height - Catherine's height = 294/6 - 242/6
= (294 - 242)/6 = 52/6 = 8 2/6 inches
Bobby is 8 2/6 inches taller than Catherine.
Bobby is 98/2 inches tall. Catherine is 121/3 inches tall. How many inches taller is Bobby than Catherine
