Answer:

54 inches

Explanation:

First, let's convert the measurements into a common measurement.

Since inch is the smallest measurement here, let's use that.

Ella's pet snake is 42 inches long.

Roya's pet snake is 8 feet long. There are 12 inches in one foot. Therefore, 8 feet would mean 12 times 8 or 96 inches.

Therefore, Roya's snake is 96 inches long.

To find out how many inches longer is Roya's snake, subtract:

96 - 42 = 54.

Therefore, Roya's snake is 54 inches longer than Ella's.
