Answer:
Ben is taller than Marcus
Step-by-step explanation:
Height of Marcus = [tex]5\frac{7}{24}feet[/tex]
To write this mixed fraction in decimal the we need to split it and add the two terms-
[tex]5\frac{7}{24} = 5 + \frac{7}{24} = 5 + 0.291 = 5.291[/tex]
∴Height of Marcus = [tex]5.291feet[/tex]
Height of Ben = [tex]5\frac{5}{16}feet[/tex]
Similarly we can write this also in decimal as-
[tex]5\frac{5}{16} = 5 + \frac{5}{16} = 5 + 0.313= 5.313[/tex]
∴Height of Ben= [tex]5.313feet[/tex]
∴ Ben is taller than Marcus
