James was 2/3s as tall as his uncle who is 72 inches. He gets a growth spurt that makes him gain 10 inches.  How much taller is his uncle than James now?
How tall was James before? ** He was 72*2/3=<<72*2/3=48>>48 inches tall before.
How tall is James now? ** He is now 48+10=<<48+10=58>>58 inches.
How much taller is his uncle than James now? ** So his uncle is 72-58=<<72-58=14>>14 inches taller.
