Question

the line plot shows the height of plants in inches that were planted last week. how much greater is the longest plant than the shortest plant?
plant height

Explanation:

Step1: Identify shortest/longest heights

Shortest height: $\frac{1}{8}$ inches; Longest height: $\frac{7}{8}$ inches

Step2: Calculate height difference

Subtract shortest from longest: $\frac{7}{8} - \frac{1}{8}$

Step3: Simplify the subtraction

$\frac{7-1}{8} = \frac{6}{8} = \frac{3}{4}$

Answer:

$\frac{3}{4}$ inches
