______ Inches

Answer 1

To find the difference between the biggest improvement and the smallest improvement based on the provided data:

1. Identify the improvements:
- 1/2 (1 inch)
- 3/4 (4 inches)
- 1 (1 inch)

2. From the values, we can see that the improvements in inches are:
- 1/2 is 1 inch
- 3/4 is 4 inches
- 1 is 1 inch

3. The smallest improvement is 1 inch (from both 1/2 and 1).
4. The biggest improvement is 4 inches (from 3/4).

5. Now, calculate the difference between the biggest improvement (4 inches) and the smallest improvement (1 inch):
\[
4 \, \text{inches} - 1 \, \text{inch} = 3 \, \text{inches}
\]

So, the difference between the biggest improvement and the smallest improvement is **3 inches**.
