Question

Find the difference in length between a walking stick and a bumblebee PLS HELP HURRY​

Answer 1

Difference between the lengths of walking stick and lengths of bumble bee is
`3(4)/(8)` inch.

Solution:

Given data represents the length of the insects.

Length of the walking stick = 4 in

Length of the bumble bee =
`(5)/(8)` in

Difference between their length

`$=4-(5)/(8)`

`$=(4)/(1) -(5)/(8)`

To make the denominator same, multiply and divide the first term by 8.

`$=(32)/(8) -(5)/(8)`

`$=(32-5)/(8)`

`$=(27)/(8)`

Now, change improper fraction into mixed fraction, we get

`$=3(4)/(8)`

Difference between the lengths of walking stick and lengths of bumble bee is
`3(4)/(8)` inch.
