Question

Micah painted 96 square feet in the same amount of time that Noah painted 13,750 square inches. How many more square inches did the person who painted more paint?

A. 74 in2 B. 148 in2

C. 6.2 in2

D. 21.3 in2

Answer 1

74 in²

Explanation:

Area painted by Micah = 96 ft²

Area painted by Noah = 13750 in²

Converting both area to the same unit :

1 ft² = 144 in²

Therefore, Area painted by Micah :

96 * 144 = 13824 in²

13824 in² > 13750 in² ; hence, Micah painted more ;

To obtain how much more area Micah painted than Noah :

Area painted by Micah - Area painted by Noah

13824 in² - 13750 in²

= 74 in²
