Answer:

1 in

Explanation:

We are given that

Height of tree in original drawing=12 in

Julie's drawing tree height=1/4 of original size

Sahil's drawing tree height=1/3 of original size

We have to find the difference between the height of the tree in Julie's and Sahil's drawings.

Height of tree in Julie's drawing=
(1)/(4)* 12in

Height of tree in Julie's drawing=3 in

Height of tree in Sahil's drawing=
(1)/(3)* 12in

Height of tree in Sahil's drawing=4 in

Difference between the height of the tree in Julie's and Sahil's drawings=4 in-3in

Difference between the height of the tree in Julie's and Sahil's drawings=1 in
