Final answer:
To compare the lengths of the two crayons, we can convert their measurements to the same denominator and compare their numerators. The second crayon is longer than the first crayon.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine if the crayons are the same length, we need to compare their measurements. The first crayon is 1/6 foot long, which can also be written as 2/12 foot. The second crayon is 3/12 foot long, which is equivalent to 1/4 foot. To compare the lengths, we need to find a common denominator.
The common denominator of 12 and 4 is 12. So, the first crayon is 2/12 foot long, and the second crayon is 3/12 foot long. Since the fractions have the same denominator, we can compare their numerators. The first crayon has a length of 2/12 foot, and the second crayon has a length of 3/12 foot. Since 3 is greater than 2, the second crayon is longer than the first crayon.
