Answer:Fluffy's tail is [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] meter longer than Fireball's.
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given Fluffy and Fireball tails are [tex]\frac{1}{3} and \frac{1}{4}[/tex] meters long.
We need to find how long is Fluffy's tail than Fireball's.
To find that we subtract the two fractions:
[tex]\frac{1}{3} -\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
To subtract the fractions we first find the common denominator.The Least common multiple of 3 and 4 is 12.Writing equivalent fractions with denominator 12 we have:
[tex]\frac{1}{3} -\frac{1}{4} =\frac{4}{12} -\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
Denominators same numerators can be subtracted:
[tex]\frac{4-3}{12} =\frac{1}{12}[/tex]
Fluffy's tail is [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] meter longer than Fireball's.
