Difference between the lengths of walking stick and lengths of bumble bee is [tex]3\frac{4}{8}[/tex] inch.
Solution:
Given data represents the length of the insects.
Length of the walking stick = 4 in
Length of the bumble bee = [tex]\frac{5}{8}[/tex] in
Difference between their length
[tex]$=4-\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{4}{1} -\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
To make the denominator same, multiply and divide the first term by 8.
[tex]$=\frac{32}{8} -\frac{5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{32-5}{8}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{27}{8}[/tex]
Now, change improper fraction into mixed fraction, we get
[tex]$=3\frac{4}{8}[/tex]
Difference between the lengths of walking stick and lengths of bumble bee is [tex]3\frac{4}{8}[/tex] inch.
