How many worms were longer than 3 inches
_____ Worms

Answer 1

To find out how many worms are longer than 3 inches, we can look at the lengths of the worms and their respective counts:

- 3 inches: 1 worm
- 4 inches: 2 worms
- 5 inches: 4 worms
- 6 inches: 3 worms

Now, we will add up the number of worms that are longer than 3 inches (that includes worms that are 4 inches, 5 inches, and 6 inches):

- 4 inches: 2 worms
- 5 inches: 4 worms
- 6 inches: 3 worms

Now, calculate the total:

2 (4 inches) + 4 (5 inches) + 3 (6 inches) = 9 worms

Therefore, there are **9 worms** longer than 3 inches.
