Question

A pet store employee measures the lengths of two pet snakes, Noodles and Squiggles. Noodles measures 30 inches long, and Squiggles measures 2 feet 10 inches long. Which snake is longer, and by how much?

Answer 1

4

Squiggles

Explanation:

steps

1. convert the length of squiggles from feet to inches
2. find the difference

1 feet = 12 inches

2 feet = 2 x 12 = 24 inches

length of squiggles = 24 + 10 = 34 inches

squiggles is longer because 34 is greater than 30

difference = 34 - 30 = 4
