Question

kathleen is growing tomatoes in her garden. this graph shows the weights of the tomatoes she harvested so far. weights of tomatoes how much heavier is the heaviest tomato than the lightest tomato? pounds

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the heaviest and lightest tomato weights

From the graph, the lightest tomato weight is \(\frac{1}{2}\) pounds and the heaviest tomato weight is \(\frac{3}{4}\) pounds.

Step2: Calculate the difference

Subtract the lightest weight from the heaviest weight. \(\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3}{4}-\frac{2}{4}\) (find a common denominator, which is 4 for 2 and 4).
\(\frac{3 - 2}{4}=\frac{1}{4}\)

Answer:

\(\frac{1}{4}\)
