Answer 2

Trey planted the bean seeds 0.625 deep than carrot seeds

Solution:

Given that,

Trey plants carrot seeds =
`(1)/(4)` deep

Trey plants bean seeds =
`(7)/(8)` deep

To find: Expression can be used to find how much deeper Trey planted the bean seeds than the carrot seeds

We have to find the difference

`Difference = \text{Bean seed depth - Carrot seed depth }`

Substituting the values we get,

`Difference = (7)/(8) - (1)/(4)\\\\Difference = (7)/(8) - (2)/(8)\\\\Difference = (5)/(8) = 0.625`

Thus Trey planted the bean seeds 0.625 deep than carrot seeds
