Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]2\ ft\ 7\ in[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

To find the difference convert the dimensions to inches

Remember that

[tex]1\ ft=12\ in[/tex]

so

katie's younger sister hight is

[tex]2\ ft\ 9\ in=2*12+9=33\ in[/tex]

katie's hight is

[tex]5\ ft\ 4\ in=5*12+4=64\ in[/tex]

Find the difference

[tex]64\ in-33\ in=31\ in[/tex]

Convert to feet and inches

[tex]31\ in=31/12=(24/12)+(7/12)=2+(7/12)=2\ ft\ 7\ in[/tex]
