Answer 1

Answer:

Plant C is 0.64 times as tall as Plant B

Plant C is 2.4 inches shorter than Plant B

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant B is 6 2/3 inches tall. Plant B is 20/3 inches tall.

Plant C 4 4/15 inches tall. Plant C is 64/15 inches tall.

a.) Plant C is shorter than Plant B $= \frac{64}{15} \times \frac{1}{\frac{20}{3} } = \frac{64}{15} \times\frac{3}{20} = \frac{16}{25}$ = 0.64 times.

b.) Plant C is shorter than Plant B by = $\frac{20}{3} - \frac{64}{15} = \frac{100}{15} - \frac{64}{15} = \frac{100 -64}{15} = \frac{36}{15} = 2\frac{2}{5} = 2.4$ inches
