Answer 1

Mieko is correct

Explanation:

Given

See attachment for complete question

Required

The length difference

Lengths with dot(s) means, there is at least 1 rose flower of that length.

So, from the attachment, we have:

`Longest = 14.0`

`Shortest = 13.0`

The difference (d) is:

`d = Longest - Shortest`

This gives:

`d = 14.0 - 13.0`

`d = 1\ in`

Hence, Mieko is correct
