Answer:
Scruffy is [tex]2\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inches longer than Fluffy.
Step-by-step explanation:
Length of Scruffy = [tex]10\frac{1}{4}[/tex] inches
Length of Fluffy = [tex]8\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inches
We have to calculate how much Scruffy is longer than Fluffy.
Difference of their lengths = [tex]10\frac{1}{4}-8\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
= (10 - 8) + [tex](\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{8})[/tex]
= 2 + [tex](\frac{2-1}{8})[/tex]
= 2 + [tex]\frac{1}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]2\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inches
Therefore, Scruffy is [tex]2\frac{1}{8}[/tex] inches longer than Fluffy.
