Choose Joseph is correct because you subtract the shortest length from the longest length to find the difference. In this case, you would subtract the shortest length from the longest length to find the difference, which is 2 1/2 feet. Marta is incorrect because the number of intervals or dots does not determine the difference in lengths.
