Q. Amelia and her sister went together to get haircuts. Amelia got 712\frac{7}{12} of an inch cut off and her sister got 14\frac{1}{4} of an inch cut off. Compared to her sister, how much more hair did Amelia get taken off?\newlineWrite your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.\newline___\_\_\_ inches
  1. Calculate hair length: Calculate the amount of hair Amelia got cut off. Amelia got 712\frac{7}{12} of an inch cut off.
  2. Calculate sister's hair length: Calculate the amount of hair Amelia's sister got cut off. Her sister got 14\frac{1}{4} of an inch cut off.
  3. Find difference in lengths: Find the difference in hair length cut between Amelia and her sister. Subtract 14\frac{1}{4} from 712\frac{7}{12}. To do this, find a common denominator, which is 1212. Convert 14\frac{1}{4} to 312\frac{3}{12}. Then, 712−312=412\frac{7}{12} - \frac{3}{12} = \frac{4}{12}. Simplify 412\frac{4}{12} to 13\frac{1}{3}.
