    Natasha's sculpture is 249/16 or 15.5625 or 15 9/16 inches shorter than Mayas sculpture

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The height of Natasha sculpture is 5 3/16 inches tall. Let us convert the height to an improper fraction.

    5 3/16 = 83/16 inches tall. Therefore,

    Natasha's sculpture is 83/16 inches tall.

    According to the question Mayas own sculpture was 4 times as tall as Natasha's own sculpture. Mathematically, Mayas sculpture height can be expressed as follows

    Mayas sculpture height = 4 (83/16)

    Mayas sculpture height = 4 * 83/16

    Mayas sculpture height = 332/16

    Mayas sculpture height = 20.75 inches or 83/4 inches

    To know how much shorter was Natasha's sculpture we subtract Natasha sculpture height from Mayas sculpture height.

    Therefore,

    83/4 - 83/16 = (332 - 83) / 16 = 249/16 or 15.5625 or 15 9/16

    Natasha's sculpture is 249/16 or 15.5625 or 15 9/16 inches shorter than Mayas sculpture
