Let's solve each problem step by step:

Problem 1: Mikayla and Jorge's Plant Heights
Question: Mikayla and Jorge grew beans for a science experiment. Mikayla's plant was 281 millimeters tall, and Jorge's plant was 187 millimeters tall. How much taller was Mikayla's plant than Jorge's?
Solution:
To find out how much taller Mikayla's plant is compared to Jorge's, we need to subtract the height of Jorge's plant from the height of Mikayla's plant.
\[
\text{Difference in height} = \text{Mikayla's plant height} - \text{Jorge's plant height}
\]
\[
\text{Difference in height} = 281 \, \text{mm} - 187 \, \text{mm}
\]
Perform the subtraction:
\[
281 - 187 = 94
\]
So, Mikayla's plant is
94 millimeters taller than Jorge's plant.
Answer:
\[
\boxed{94}
\]

Problem 2: Filling in the Time on the Digital Clock
Question: Fill in the time on the digital clock to show the same time as the analog clock.
Solution:
The analog clock shows the time as follows:
- The hour hand is between 7 and 8, closer to 7.
- The minute hand is pointing at 5, which represents 25 minutes past the hour.
Thus, the time shown on the analog clock is
7:25.
To fill in the digital clock:
- The hour is 7.
- The minutes are 25.
So, the digital clock should display
7:25.
Answer:
\[
\boxed{7:25}
\]

Problem 3: Combined Score of Maya and Jaxon
Question: Maya and Jaxon were playing a trivia game together. Jaxon scored 73 points, and Maya scored 64 points. What was their combined score?
Solution:
To find the combined score, we add Jaxon's score and Maya's score together.
\[
\text{Combined score} = \text{Jaxon's score} + \text{Maya's score}
\]
\[
\text{Combined score} = 73 + 64
\]
Perform the addition:
\[
73 + 64 = 137
\]
So, their combined score is
137 points.
Answer:
\[
\boxed{137}
\]
