tom is 2/3 of a foot taller than gloria.
explanation- first you have to make the fractions have a common denominator, then you just subtract. so a common factor for the denominator is 6. multiply 2 by 3 to get 6, and multiply 1 by 3. then you have 6 and 1/6 feet minus 5 and 3/6 feet. subtract to get 2/3.
