Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the height of the tallest child, add $36 \frac{2}{3}$ inches to $4 \frac{7}{12}$ inches. First, convert the fractions to have a common denominator, which is 36. So, $36 \frac{2}{3} = 36 \frac{8}{12}$ and $4 \frac{7}{12}$ remains the same. Adding these gives $40 \frac{15}{12}$ inches. Simplifying $40 \frac{15}{12}$ inches by converting $15/12$ to $1 \frac{3}{12}$ or $1 \frac{1}{4}$, we get $41 \frac{1}{4}$ inches.
