Question

John has 4 yards of fabric. Jane has 120 inches of fabric. Who has more fabric? How much more? divied

Answer 1

John has more fabric

24 more inches

Explanation:

Let's convert John's 4 yards of fabric into inches so we can compare with the same units

1 yard = 3 feet

So 4 yards are equivalent to 12 feet

1 feet = 12 inches

Therefore 12 feet has 144 inches

John has 144 inches of fabric and Jane has 120 inches of fabric

144>120

John has more

How much more?

We can subtract to find the difference: 144-120=24

24 more inches of fabric

Answer 2

John has more fabric.

Explanation:

There are 36 inches in one yard so I multiplied 36x4 and got 144 inches, this is more than 120 inches.
