Answer:
10/7 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let e = Ethan
k = Kayla
The following equations can de derived from the equation :
1/2 e = 2/3k
multiply both sides of the equation by 2
e = 4/3k --- 1
e + k = 10 --- 2
Substitute for e in equation 2
4/3k + k = 10
7/3k = 10
multiply both sides of the equation by 3/7
k = 30/7
Substitute for k in equation 1
e = (4/3) x 30/7 = 40/7
difference in length = 40/7 - 30/7 = 10/7
