According to the given, Sharon is 54 inches tall.

=> A tree in her yard is 5 times as tall as her = 5 x 54 inches

=> the floor of the treehouse is at a height that is twice as tall as her = 2 x 54 inches

find the difference in inches between the top of the tree and the floor of the tree house.

Let’s start getting the height of the tree top first

=> 5 x 54 inches = 270 inches

then the floor of tree house

=> 2 x 54 = 108

Now, let’s subtract to get the difference

=> 270 - 108 = 162 inches is the difference
