Step-by-step explanation: 65 1/4 inches is the same and 65 2/8 inches. its now just as simple as finding the difference.

               

                  <-----------take 8/8 or 1 away from the 65 and add it to the 2/8                 65 2/8

-  63 3/8

----------------          

                       

   64 10/8           <------now the equation looks like this

-   63 3/8             <----10-3 is 7    ----   64 - 63 is 1
