Question

A king bed measures 76 inches wide by 80 inches long. How much does the length exceed the width?

A) 4 inches
B) 7 inches
C) 11 inches
D) 14 inches

Answer 1

A. 4 inches

Explanation:

In order to find by how much the length exceeds the width we have to subtract width from the length in order to get the difference between the two lengths, and so we get...

80 - 76 = 4

Therefore the answer is A. 4 inches

Answer 2

A) 4 inches

Explanation:

The length is 80 inches and the width is 76 inches. To find the difference subtract 80 minus 76 and you get 4... the amount that is exceeding the width!

Have a wonderful day!
