Question

Order the bracelets from shortest to longest using inches:

a. 0.7 feet
b. 21.6 centimeters
c. 7 inches
d. 0.18 feet

Answer 1

To order the bracelets from shortest to longest, convert all the measurements to inches and compare them.

Step-by-step explanation:

To order the bracelets from shortest to longest, we need to convert the given measurements to a common unit. In this case, we will convert all the measurements to inches.

1. a. 0.7 feet = 0.7 * 12 inches = 8.4 inches
2. b. 21.6 centimeters = 21.6 / 2.54 inches (since 1 inch = 2.54 cm) = 8.50 inches (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
3. c. 7 inches = 7 inches
4. d. 0.18 feet = 0.18 * 12 inches = 2.16 inches

Now, we can order the bracelets from shortest to longest: d. 0.18 feet < b. 21.6 centimeters < c. 7 inches < a. 0.7 feet.
