Answer:

The longest insect is 5/8 inches longer than the shortest.

To find how much longer the longest insect is than the shortest, we have to subtract the length of the shortest insect from the longest one.

The shortest insect is 1/8 inches

The longest insect is 3/4 inches

So, we have to do 3/4 - 1/8

To do that, we have to find a common denominator

A denominator is the bottom number of a fraction

A common denominator between 3/4 and 1/8 is 8

We can write 3/4 as 6/8 because they are equal

Now we do 6/8 - 1/8

6/8 - 1/8 = 5/8

5/8
