Answer:

⁷/₈

Step-by-step explanation:

first week = 1 7/8

second week = 2 3/4

difference is height = 2 3/4 - 1 7/8

note: 2 3/4 = 1 7/4 so,

= 1 7/4 - 1 7/8

subtract whole number: 1 - 1 = 0

combine fractions:  7/4 - 7/8 = 7/8

= 7/8

Answer:

Alisha's plant grow over the week:

2 3/4=((4*2)+3)/4=11/4

1 7/8=((8*1)+7)/8=15/8

so

2 3/4 - 1 7/8=11/4-15/8=(2*11-15)/8=7/8

so Alisha's plant grow over the week 7/8 inches
