Answer: 1 1/4

Step-by-step explanation: The shortest blade of grass is 2/4 of an inch. The tallest blade of grass is 7/4 inches.  You must subtract 7/4 by 2/4 to get the answer. Subtract the numerator of the tallest blade of grass by the smallest blade of grass. 7/4-2/4=5/4. When you convert that to a mixed number you get 1 1/4.
