In his garden, Trey plants carrot seeds 1/4 in deep and bean seeds 7/8 in deep.

What expression can be used to find how much deeper Trey planted the bean seeds than the carrot seeds?

Respuesta :

Trey planted the bean seeds 0.625 deep than carrot seeds

Solution:

Given that,

Trey plants carrot seeds = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] deep

Trey plants bean seeds = [tex]\frac{7}{8}[/tex] deep

To find: Expression can be used to find how much deeper Trey planted the bean seeds than the carrot seeds

We have to find the difference

[tex]Difference = \text{Bean seed depth - Carrot seed depth }[/tex]

Substituting the values we get,

[tex]Difference = \frac{7}{8} - \frac{1}{4}\\\\Difference = \frac{7}{8} - \frac{2}{8}\\\\Difference = \frac{5}{8} = 0.625[/tex]

Thus Trey planted the bean seeds 0.625 deep than carrot seeds
