Step-by-step explanation:

The question has missing details; However, the following explanation will guide.

Represent the boots print with y and the Liz's feet with x

To calculate how much the boot is longer than her feet, we simply get the difference between the length of the boot's print and her feet;

i.e.

$Difference = y - x$

Note that her boot print (y) will always be greater than her feet (x)

Take for instance;

$y = 3\ ft$

$x = 2\ ft$

The difference will be

$Difference = 3ft - 2ft$

$Difference = 1ft$
