Give the step-by-step reasoning process and then the final answer. Clyde and Grace are building block towers. Grace’s tower is 8 times the size of Clyde’s at 40 inches tall. How many inches taller is Grace’s tower than Clyde’s?
Clyde’s tower is 1 / 8 the size of Grace’s tower or 40 inches / 8 = 5 inches tall. Grace’s tower is 40 inches – 5 inches = 35 inches taller than Clyde’s.
The final answer: 35.
