Answer:
The 20-day old worm is [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] inches more longer than the 10-day old worm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jack is growing Red wiggler worms to help make compost. He measured the lengths of two young worms. The 10- day old worm is [tex]\frac{10}{12}[/tex] inch long. The 20-day old worm is [tex]1\frac{4}{6}[/tex] inches long.
Therefore, the 10-day old worm is [tex]\frac{10}{12}[/tex] i.e [tex]\frac{5}{6}[/tex] inches long.
And the 20-day old worm is [tex]1\frac{4}{6}[/tex] i.e. [tex]\frac{10}{6} = \frac{5}{3}[/tex] inches long
Therefore, the 20-day old worm is [tex](\frac{5}{3} - \frac{5}{6}) = \frac{5}{6}[/tex] inches more longer than the 10-day old worm. (Answer)
