Susie grew 7/8 of an inch last year while her brother Tommy grew 3/8 of an inch how many more inches did Susie grow then Tommy

Answer 1

To find out how many more inches Susie grew than Tommy, we need to subtract Tommy's growth from Susie's growth.

Susie grew 7/8 of an inch.
Tommy grew 3/8 of an inch.

The difference in their growth is: 7/8 - 3/8

To subtract the fractions, we need to find a common denominator, which in this case is 8.

7/8 - 3/8 = (7-3)/8
= 4/8
= 1/2

Therefore, Susie grew 1/2 inch more than Tommy.
