Answer:

So, the longest toy car length is
2(7)/(8)inches

Explanation:

Given - Aiden has two toy cars that measure two and one fourth inches,

three that measure two three eight inches, one that measures two

and seven eights inches, one that measures 2 and one eights

inches, and one that measures two and three fourths inches.

To find - How long is Aiden's longest toy car.

Proof -

Measure of 1st car - 2 inches

Measure of 2nd car -
(1)/(4) inches = 0.25 inches

Measure of 3rd car -
2(3)/(8) inches = 2.375 inches

Measure of 4th car -
2(7)/(8)inches = 2.875 inches

Measure of 5th car -
2(1)/(8)inches = 2.125 inches

Measure of 6th car -
2(3)/(4)inches = 2.75 inches

So, the longest toy car length is
2(7)/(8)inches (2.875 inches )
