Answer 1

`(2)/(4) inch`

Explanation:

Step 1

List the length of the wingspan of the five butterflies

`(1)/(4), (1)/(4), 1, (2)/(4), (3)/(4)`

Step 2:

The two butterflies with the shortest wingspan has a wing length of
`(1)/(4)` inches each.

Step 3:

Total length of the wingspan of the two butterflies with the shortest wingspan

=
`=(1)/(4) +(1)/(4) \\ = (2)/(4)`

Final answer:

=
`(2)/(4) inch`
