Answer 1

Vennetta

Explanation:

Length of Venetta's paper clip chain = 3 feets 5 inches

Length of Bill's paper clip chain = 39 inches

Converting both Venetta's paper clip chain length to inches only :

1 foot = 12 inches

3 feets = (12 * 3) = 36 inches

Hence,

Length of Venetta's paper clip chain in inches :

(36 + 5) inches = 41 inches

41 inches > 39 inches .

Hence, Venetta has the long clip chain.
