One owl has a wingspan of 1⁄2 foot. A second owl's wingspan is 3⁄4 foot. How much longer is the wingspan of the second owl?

To find the second owl's wingspan, we need to subtract 1/2 from 3/4.

First, we'll need to find the common denominator:

1/2 = 2/4

Then, we can subtract.

3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4

With this, we now know that 1/4 is the answer.
