Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract [tex]3\frac{2}{5}[/tex] from [tex]1\frac{1}{3}[/tex] to represent how much taller Jess is.
Common Denominators:
The Least Common Multiple of 3 and 5 is 15.
Therefore,
[tex]3\frac{2}{5} =3\frac{6}{15}[/tex]; [tex]1\frac{1}{3} =1\frac{5}{15}[/tex]
Subtract:
[tex]3\frac{6}{15} -1\frac{5}{15} =2\frac{1}{15}[/tex]
Jess is 2 1/15 ft taller than Joan.
