(C)Giana’s drawing is 1 inch taller than Paityn’s drawing.

(D)Paityn’s drawing is 1 inch taller than Giana’s drawing.

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Giana:

`(2inches)/(1foot)` =
`(xinches)/(6 feet)`

1 x 6 = 6

2 x 6 = 12

Giana's drawing is 12 inches tall.

Paityn:

`(3inches)/(2feet)` =
`(xinches)/(6 feet)`

2 x 3 = 6

3 x 3 = 9

Paityn's drawing is 9 inches.

Giana's drawing is 3 inches taller than Paityn's drawing. (12-9 = 3)
