Question

A rectangular print on the Smiths living room wall is 4 feet long and 2 feet 6 inches wide. How many inches longer is the print than it is wide?

Answer 1

The print is 18 inches longer then it is wide

Explanation:

I multiplied 12 x 4 becuase there are 12 inches in a foot to get 48 inches. So the print is 48 inches long. Then I multiplied 2 times 12 to get 24 and then 24+6 + 30 so the rug is 30 inches wide. Finally I subtracted 30 from 48 to get the diffrence in inches. Which is 18 :)
