D. 1 1/8 inch
Idk what do to so please help me >~<
sure you know what to do.
If I ask you "how much bigger is 6 than 4?" you just subtract 4 from 6 to get the difference: 2
So here, you need 7/8 - 5/8 = 2/8 or 1/4 inch
OKthanks for the help
To find out how much longer 5/8 inch is than 7/8 inch, you need to subtract 7/8 inch from 5/8 inch.
However, since the second fraction (7/8 inch) is larger than the first fraction (5/8 inch), the result will be negative. This means that 5/8 inch is actually shorter than 7/8 inch.
To calculate the difference, subtract the second fraction (7/8 inch) from the first fraction (5/8 inch):
5/8 inch - 7/8 inch
To subtract fractions, you need a common denominator. In this case, the common denominator is 8:
5/8 - 7/8
Since the denominator is the same, you subtract the numerators:
5 - 7 = -2
The result is -2/8 inch, which simplifies to -1/4 inch.
Since the result is negative, it means that 5/8 inch is 1/4 inch shorter than 7/8 inch.
Therefore, the answer is B. 1/4 inch.
