Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find how much taller Daniel is, subtract Tyler's height from Daniel's: $70 \frac{1}{2} - 67 \frac{5}{8}$. Convert to improper fractions: $70 \frac{1}{2} = \frac{141}{2}$ and $67 \frac{5}{8} = \frac{541}{8}$. Find a common denominator (8): $\frac{141}{2} = \frac{564}{8}$. Subtract: $\frac{564}{8} - \frac{541}{8} = \frac{23}{8} = 2 \frac{7}{8}$.
