Question

What is the distance between the longest dog in the shortest dog Short 7 over 8 longest 3 over 8 what is the difference

Answer 1

The distance between the longest dog and the shortest dog is 4 over 8 (
`(4)/(8)` ) OR 1 over 2 (
`(1)/(2)` )

Explanation:

From the question,

Short is 7 over 8, that is,

Short =
`(7)/(8)`

and longest is 3 over 8, that is

Longest =
`(3)/(8)`

The distance between the longest dog and the shortest dog can be determined by finding the difference between the fractions. That is,

`(7)/(8) - (3)/(8) = (7 - 3)/(8)`

`= (4)/(8)`

`= (1)/(2)`

Hence, the distance between the longest dog and the shortest dog is 4 over 8 (
`(4)/(8)` ) OR 1 over 2 (
`(1)/(2)` ).
