Answer 1

Answer:

The 45 in snake is the shorter one.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which is shorter, 45 in or 4 1/2 ft?

                                                                                        12 in

Convert 4 1/2 ft into inches by multiplying 4 1/2 ft by --------- = 54 in.

                                                                                          1 ft

Thus, the 45 in snake is shorter than the 54 in one and should b e V's first choice.
