Answer:

20 in  

Step-by-step explanation:

Tree 1:

Rate of growth = (½ ft/2 yr)

  12 yr growth = 12 × (½/2)

                       = 6/2

                       = 3 ft

                       = 36 in

Tree 2:

Rate of growth = (4 in/3yr)

  12 yr growth = 12 × (4/3)

                       = 48/3

                       = 16 in

Difference:

Tree 1 - Tree 2 = 36 - 16

                            = 20 in

The trees will differ in height by 20 in.
