Elizabeth and Izak record the number of miles they bike each day.
The line plots show the distances they each biked for 5 days.
How much greater was the shortest distance Izak biked than the shortest distance Elizabeth biked in 1 day?
A line plot named "Miles Biked" shows Elizabeth's distances from six to ten. The number line is divided into sixteen equal parts. Six and one half has one dot. Seven has one dot. Eight and one half has three dots. A second line plot named "Miles Biked" shows Izak's distances from six to ten. This number line is also divided into sixteen equal parts. Six and three fourths has one dot. Seven has one dot. Eight and one fourth has two dots. Nine has one dot.

The shortest distance Izak biked is 6 3/4 miles and the shortest distance Elizabeth biked is 6 1/2 miles.
To find the difference, we subtract 6 1/2 from 6 3/4:
6 3/4 - 6 1/2 = 1/4 mile
Therefore, the shortest distance Izak biked is 1/4 mile greater than the shortest distance Elizabeth biked in 1 day.
