Question

Georgia wants to purchase a piece of fabric that is between 64 and 68 inches long. She can choose between three pieces of fabric. Choice A is 5 3/4 feet long. Choice B is 5 1/2 feet long. Choice C is 5 1/4 feet long. Which fabric should Georgia purchase?

Answer 1

1 foot equals 12 inches. You should convert choice A, B, C to foot unit.

Choice A
5 3/4 × 12
= 23/4 × 12
= (23 × 12)/4
= 276/4
= 69 inches

Choice B
5 1/2 × 12
= 11/2 × 12
= (11 × 12)/2
= 66 inches

Choice C
5 1/4 × 12
= 21/4 × 12
= (21 × 12)/4
= 252/4
= 63 inches

Fabric which is between 64 and 68 is choice B
