Answer: Distance of flower from the base of the tree = 0.4 meters

Explanation:

Given: A hummingbird lives in a nest that is 9 meters high in a tree. The hummingbird flies 9.4 meters to get from its nest to a flower on the ground.

Distance of flower from the base of the tree = 9.4 meters - 9 meters

= 0.4 meters

Hence, Distance of flower from the base of the tree = 0.4 meters
