Answer:
First lizard is 1/12 inches longer than the second one.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the given information it is clear that
Length of first lizard = 7/3 inches
Length of second lizard = 9/4 inches
We need to find difference in length of both lizards.
Difference in length = Length of first lizard - Length of second lizard
[tex]Difference=\dfrac{7}{3}-\dfrac{9}{4}[/tex]
Make denominator common.
[tex]Difference=\dfrac{7\times 4}{3\times 4}-\dfrac{9\times 3}{4\times 3}[/tex]
[tex]Difference=\dfrac{28}{12}-\dfrac{27}{12}[/tex]
[tex]Difference=\dfrac{28-27}{12}[/tex]
[tex]Difference=\dfrac{1}{12}[/tex]
Therefore, first lizard is 1/12 inches longer than the second one.
