Question

What is the difference in length between a 1 1/4-inch button and a 3/8-inch button?

Answer 1

7/8 of a inch............

Answer 2

`(7)/(8)inch`

Explanation:

We are given that

Length of one button=
`1(1)/(4) inch`

Length of another button=
`(3)/(8) inch`

We have to find the difference between the length of two buttons

`1(1)/(4)=(5)/(4) inch`

Difference=Length of one button- length of another button

Difference =
`(5)/(4)-(3)/(8)`

Difference between in length of tow buttons=
`(10-3)/(8)=(7)/(8) inch`

Hence, the difference between length of two buttons=
`(7)/(8)inch`
