of a meter longer

Answer 1

Answer:

Fluffy's tail is 1/12 meter longer than Fireball's tail

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The length of fluffy tail = $1\frac{1}{3}$ meters, = 4/3 meters

While,

The length of Fireball tail = $1\frac{1}{4}$ meters = 5/4 meters,

∵ 5/4 < 4/3

i.e. Fluffy's tail is longer than Fireball's tail,

Also,

$\frac{4}{3}-\frac{5}{4}=\frac{16 - 15}{12}=\frac{1}{12}$

Hence, Fluffy's tail is 1/12 meter longer than Fireball's tail.
