Answer the following question, with explanation first.
James was 2/3s as tall as his uncle who is 72 inches. He gets a growth spurt that makes him gain 10 inches. How much taller is his uncle than James now?

14
He was 72 * 2 / 3 = 48 inches tall before.

He is now 48 + 10 = 58 inches.

So his uncle is 72 - 58 = 14 inches taller.

.

So, the answer is 14
