60 1/4 -58 1/18 need to find the height of the man over his son. I have done this much 1/4*8/8=8/32 then 1/18*2/2 = 2/36 then I did 60 8/32- 58 2/36
= 2 + [1/4 - 1/18] = 2 + [(18-4)/(4*18)] = 2 + [14/
------
60 1/4 -58 1/18
----
= (60-58) + [(1/4)-(1/18)]
-----
= 2 + [(18-4)/(4*18)]
-----
= 2 + (14/(4*18)
-----
= 2 + (7/36)
-----
= 2.1944
