Answer:
Option B) [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] Inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Maria's Centipede = [tex]1\frac{1}{12}[/tex] inches = [tex]\frac{13}{12}[/tex] inches
Jerome Centipede = [tex]\frac{11}{12}[/tex]
To see how much longer Maria's centipede was than Jerome's, we'll subtract the two:
=> [tex]\frac{13}{12} -\frac{11}{12}[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{13-11}{12}[/tex]
=> [tex]\frac{2}{12}[/tex] inches
=> [tex]\frac{1}{6}[/tex] Inches
