Answer 2

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

1 - Work through the problem

Kirk:

5' 4" tall

Joey

4' 8" tall

1.1 - Convert to inches

Kirk: 5' = (12*5) inches (Every foot is 12 inches) = 60 inches + 4 = 64 inches

Joey: 4' = (12*4) inches = 48 inches + 8 = 56 inches

1.2 - Find the difference

64 - 56 = 8 inches (Since its not divisible by 12 we leave it as is.)

Because I was able to solve this without trouble there is no missing info. Letter A
