The distance from basil to thyme is 6 in, and the distance from basil to oregano is 14 in. By subtracting the distance from basil to thyme (6 in) from the distance from basil to oregano (14 in), we get the distance from thyme to oregano:
14 in - 6 in = 8 in
Therefore, the distance between thyme and oregano is 8 in.
So the correct answer is:
8 in
