If Giselle's height after 1 year was 53 and 7/8 in one summer and the following summer was 62 3/5, by how much did her height increase?
Answer provided by our tutors
The first step is to make sure the fractions have common denominators
so we can make it 53 30/40 and 62 24/40
Now we subtract 53 30/40 from 62 24/40.
In the summer she grew a total of 8 34/40 inches
