Answer: [tex]4\frac{5}{12}\ feet[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The height of Leon's older brother = [tex]4\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet
[tex]=\frac{16+3}{4}=\frac{19}{4}[/tex] feet
Since, Leon is 1/3 foot shorter than his brother.
Then, the height of Leon = [tex]\frac{19}{4}-\frac{1}{3}[/tex]
First we need to make them like fractions by multiplying 3 on the numerator and denominator of the first fraction and 4 on the numerator and denominator of the second fraction.
Then, the height of Leon = [tex]\frac{57}{12}-\frac{4}{12}[/tex]
[tex]=\frac{57-4}{12}\\=\frac{53}{12}=4\frac{5}{12}[/tex] feet
Hence, The height of Leon =[tex]4\frac{5}{12}\ feet[/tex]
