Question

Only boxes less than 3 1/2 feet wide will fit through a doorway. Which measurements show the widths of three boxes that will fit through a doorway? Please help!! Choices:

A. 36 in., 42 in., 40 in.
B. 42 in., 43 in., 38 in.
C. 40 in., 37 in., 41 in.
D. 38 in., 40in., 42 in.

Answer 1

C and D will fit through the doorway. As a standard, box dimensions are length x width x height. Because our constraint is width, you need to look at the middle answer. 3 1/2 feet is 42 inches. Since we need boxes less than 42 inches wide, we can eliminate A and B. C and D are less than 42 inches in width.
