Jake has two pet guinea pigs named fluffy and scruffy. Fluffy is8 1/8 inches long. Scruffy is 10 1/4 inches long. How much longer is scruffy than fluffy?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Scruffy is [tex]2\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inches longer than Fluffy.

Step-by-step explanation:

Length of Scruffy = [tex]10\frac{1}{4}[/tex] inches

Length of Fluffy = [tex]8\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inches

We have to calculate how much Scruffy is longer than Fluffy.

Difference of their lengths = [tex]10\frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

                                            = (10 - 8) + [tex](\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8})[/tex]

                                            = 2 + [tex](\frac{2-1}{8})[/tex]

                                            = 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]

                                            = [tex]2\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inches

Therefore, Scruffy is [tex]2\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inches longer than Fluffy.
