Answer 1

Answer:

1 3/4 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The line plot below shows the heights of flowers in a garden.

To Find:

How much taller is the tallest flower than the shortest flower?​

Solve:

Knowing that each dot represent it's heights.

Let's makes a table:

6 1/2 ⇒ О О

6 3/4 ⇒ О

7 ⇒ ОООО

7 1/4 ⇒ ОООООО

7 1/2 ⇒ ОООО

7 3/4 ⇒ ОО

8 ⇒ none

8 1/4 ⇒ О

8 1/2 ⇒ none

It's also given that the tallest flower and the shortest flower.

Which is:

Smallest → 6 1/2

Tallest → 8 1/4

Now all we have to do is subtract tallest flower from the shortest flower.

8 1/4 - 6 1/2

Break off 1 from 8 : 8 1/4 = 7 5/4

Now we have:

7 5/4 - 6 1/2

Subtract whole number: 7 - 6 = 1

Combine fraction:

5/4 - 1/2 = 3/4

1 + 3/4

= 1 3/4 inches

Hence, the answer is [B] 1 3/4
