Jen has two ropes. The blue rope is 13 1/8] feet long and the green rope is 21 3/4 feet long. Calculate how much longer the green rope is than the blue rope.

1 answer

To solve the problem, we need to subtract the length of the blue rope from the length of the green rope:

Green rope - Blue rope

= (21 3/4) - (13 1/8) [convert fractions to a common denominator, which is 8]

= (21 x 8 + 3) / 8 - (13 x 8 + 1) / 8

= 174/8 - 105/8

= 69/8

= 8 5/8

Therefore, the green rope is 8 5/8 feet longer than the blue rope.
