Answer 1

Answer: Ted's pencil could be 8.6 cm.

Step-by- Step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of Jan's pencil= 8.5 cm

According to the question, we know that Ted's pencil is longer.

So, it must be larger in value than 8.5 cm .

So, it can be any decimal number greater than 8.5 cm

Hence, Ted's pencil could be 8.6 cm.

Answer 2

If Jan's pencil is 8.5 cm long, and Ted's is longer, anything larger than 8.5 should work.

Examples - 8.9 c.m.
                     9.6 c.m.
