anita jared and steph are rock climbing. anita is 42 1/2 feet below jared. steph is 67 3/4 feet above anita. what is stephs position compared to jared? please show your work!

Verified Answer :

Work:

Jared is between Anita and Steph

67\(\frac{3}{4}\) - 42\(\frac{1}{2}\)

Turn \(\frac{1}{2}\) into \(\frac{2}{4}\)

Now

67\(\frac{3}{4}\) - 42\(\frac{2}{4}\)

Do 67 - 42 first to make it easier
67 - 42 = 25
Then do \(\frac{3}{4}\) - \(\frac{2}{4}\)

\(\frac{3}{4}\) - \(\frac{2}{4}\) =\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Then add the two back together to get 25\(\frac{1}{4}\)

Remember that Steph is above Jared though.

Answer:

Steph is 25\(\frac{1}{4}\) feet above Jared.
