Answer 2

The difference between the heights of the Birch and Spruce trees is:

`(3)/(8)\ units`

Explanation:

The height of the Birch tree is:

`3(1)/(4)` which in improper fraction is written as:

`(13)/(4)\ units`

Also, the height of Spruce tree is:

`2(7)/(8)` which in improper fraction is written as:

`(23)/(8)\ units`

The difference in the height of two tree is given by:

`(13)/(4)-(23)/(8)`

on taking least common multiple we get:

`=(13* 2-23* 1)/(8)\\\\=(26-23)/(8)\\\\\\=(3)/(8)\ units`

Hence, the difference between the height of tree is:

`(3)/(8)\ units`
