Option A. $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The given line plot shows the heights of flower in a garden.

In each plot the differences of the heights is of 1/4 inches.

As first plotted height is = $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches

next plotted height will be = $6\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{13}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{26+1}{4}$

= $\frac{27}{4}=6\frac{3}{4}$ inches

and next plotted height is given = 7 inches

$\frac{1}{4}$ inches added to last plotted height = $6\frac{3}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{27}{4}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{28}{4}$ = 7 inches

similarly last plotted height would be = $7\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{15}{2}+ \frac{1}{4}$

= $\frac{30+1}{4}$

= $\frac{31}{4}$

= $7\frac{3}{4}$ inches

Therefore, the height of tallest flower is $7\frac{3}{4}$ inches and the height of the shortest flower is $6\frac{1}{2}$ inches.

The difference of the heights = $7\frac{3}{4} -6\frac{1}{2}$

= $\frac{31}{4}-\frac{13}{2}$

= $\frac{31-26}{4}$

= $\frac{5}{4}$

= $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches

Option A. $1\frac{1}{4}$ inches is the answer.

Answer from: Quest

because linear equations are a lot simpler than quadratics equations, and linear equations formula is a lot easier to memorize. that's why i think they're harder.
