Question

Roger is building a frame for a flower bed. He is using left-over scraps of wood from his garage. He needs a total of 12 feet of wood. The pieces he has in his garage are 314 feet, 412 feet, and 4 feet. Does he have enough wood to build the frame?

A. Yes, because 12 > 1134
B. Yes, because 1234 > 12
C. No, because 1134< 12
D. No, because 1116 < 12

Answer 1

C. No, because 11.34 < 12

Explanation:

3.14 + 4.12 + 4 has to be greater than or equal to 12

solve the equation

3.14 + 4.12 + 4 >= 12

7.26 + 4 >= 12

11.26 >= 12 is false

I don't know why it says 11.34 because the numbers don't add up, so I'll assume that there is a typo somewhere.
