Question

Given that there are 3 feet or 36 inches in 1 yard, which of the following amounts is greater than 48

inches? Select all that apply.
A) 2 yards
B) 5 feet
C) 4 feet, 3 inches
D) 3 feet, 9 inches
E) 1 yard, 2 feet

Answer 1

A, B, C, and E

Explanation:

A = 72 inches (36 x 2)

B = 60 inches (12 x 5)

C = 51 inches ([12 x 4] + 3)

E = 60 inches (36 + 24)

The answer is not D, because D = (36 + 9) = 45 inches.

Hope this helps.
