Yo I'm doing my younger brothers homework and I don't know anything, help a slow sister out.

Chris has 2 feet of ribbon, and Jessie has 36 inches of ribbon. Who has more ribbon?

Respuesta :

Hey there!
First, we need to know how to compare feet with inches. We can do this by using prior knowledge and realizing that we could compare them by converting them both to feet, and realizing that there are 12 inches in a foot.
With this info, we can divide 36 inches by 12 to get Jessie has 3 feet, and Chris has two.
Therefore, Jessie has more.
Hope this helps!
