Christy bought n 8 foot piece of lumber to trim a book shelf. Altogether she needs 100 inches of lumber for the trim. Did Christy buy enough lumber? Explain.

No because 12*8 is 96 and 96 does not =100 so she doesn't have enough lumber to trim

No she did not because 8 feet converted to inches is 96in. So, she is 4 inches short of 100! :-)
