    Answer: the plant is 6 1/4 inches above the ground.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    In her garden Pam plants the seed 5 and one fourth inches below the ground. Converting 5 and one fourth inches to improper fraction, it becomes 21/4 inches.

    After one month the tomato plant has grown a total of 11 and one half inches. Converting 11 and one half inches to improper fraction, it becomes 23/2 inches.

    The height of the the plant above the ground would be

    23/2 - 21/4 = (46 - 21) / 4 = 25/4

    Converting to mixed fraction, it becomes

    6 1/4 inches

    If it is 5 1/4 underground & it has grown 11 1/2

    Do 11 1/2 - 5 1/4.

    The answer is either going to be 6 1/4 or 6.25
