Step-by-step explanation:

  • 9 feet
  • 10 feet (10 ft = 10·12 in = 120 in)
  • 130 inches
  • 12 feet (12 ft = 12·12 in = 144 in)
  • 145 inches

_____

Obviously, 9 < 10 < 12, so ordering by feet is easy. Then we need to figure out where the inch measurements belong.

1 foot = 12 inches, so we can figure some references to use to compare to the inch measurements.

10 feet = 10·12 in = 120 in, so 130 in is longer, by less than 1 ft.

12 feet = 12·12 in = 144 in, so 145 in is longer.
