aidan is 60 inches tall kathy is 5.5 feet tall. who is taller.
Two ways to tell.

1. Change Aidan's 60 inches to feet, by dividing 60 by 12, then compare it to Kathy's 5.5 feet.

2. Change Kathy's 5.5 feet to inches by multiplying 5.5 by 12, then compare it
to Aiden's 60 inches. 

-------------------------------
Bith ways:

1.  60ft÷12in/ft = 5 ft. Aiden is shorter, Kathy is taller.

2.  5.5feet×12in/ft = 66 inches.  Kathy is taller, Aiden is shorter.
