Question

Three friends each have some ribbon. Carol has 42 inches of ribbon, Tino has 2.5 feet of ribbon, and Baxter has 1.5 yards of ribbon. Who has the most ribbon? How do you know?

Answer 1

Answer: Baxter

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to know that:

12 inches = 1 foot

36 inches = 1 yard

The number of ribbon for each person will be:

Carol = 42 ribbons

Tino = 2.5 feet = 2.5 × 12 = 30 ribbons

Baxter = 1.5 yard = 1.5 × 36 = 54 ribbons

Therefore, Baxter has the most ribbon
