Question

Danielle wants to know if a new dresser will fit next to her bed. The dresser she would like to buy is 73 centimeters wide. She k it’s that her room is 86 inches. The bed is 76 inches wide.

Answer 1

Answer:

No.

The dresser's width(28.74in) is greater than the remaining free width(10in) in the room.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, convert the chest width into inches,$73cm=28.74 \ in$

To find the excess width after fitting the bed in her room, we subtract the bed width from the room's width:

$Width_R=86 \ in\\Width_B=76 \ in\\\\Width_{excess}=Width_R-Width_B\\\\=86\ in -76\ in\\\\=10\ in$

Since 10in is less than 28.74in, the dresser will not fit next to her bed.
