Answer:


3(1)/(4) inches

Explanation:

Height of the tallest conifer =
9(1)/(2) inches

Height of the shortest conifer = 6 + measure of one segment on the number line

Measure of one segment on the number line =
(6(1)/(2)-6)/(2)

=
((1)/(2))/(2)

=
(1)/(4)

Therefore, height of the shortest conifer = 6 +
(1)/(4)

=
6(1)/(4)

Difference in tallest and shortest conifer =
9(1)/(2)- 6(1)/(4)

= (9 - 6) +
((1)/(2)- (1)/(4))

= 3 +
(1)/(4)

=
3(1)/(4) inches
