Beyond the Answer
To find out how much taller the first corn plant is than the second, we first need to convert both heights into improper fractions or decimals for easier subtraction. The first corn plant is \( 6 \frac{1}{4} \) feet tall, which can be converted to an improper fraction: \( 6 \frac{1}{4} = \frac{25}{4} \) feet. The second corn plant is \( 4 \frac{6}{8} \) feet tall. First, we simplify \( 6/8 \) to \( 3/4 \): \( 4 \frac{3}{4} = \frac{19}{4} \) feet. Now, to find out how much taller the first plant is than the second, we subtract: \( \frac{25}{4} - \frac{19}{4} = \frac{6}{4} = \frac{3}{2} = 1 \frac{1}{2} \) feet. So, the first corn plant is \( 1 \frac{1}{2} \) feet taller than the second corn plant!
