Answer:
The difference is [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
See the attached number line where the worm lengths in inches are plotted.
From the number line plotted in the attached photo, it is clear that the shortest worm has the length of [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches and the longest worm has the length of [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex] inches i.e. [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] inches.
Therefore, the difference in length between the shortest and longest worm is [tex](\frac{3}{2} - \frac{3}{4}) = \frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches. (Answer)
