Which is greater: 5 yards or 150 inches? How much greater?
A.
5 yards; it is 36 inches greater.
B.
5 yards; it is 30 inches greater.
C.
150 inches; it is 36 inches greater.
D.
150 inches; it is 30 inches greater.
To determine which is greater, you need to convert 5 yards and 150 inches into the same unit of measurement. Since both yards and inches are units of length, you can compare them directly.
1 yard is equal to 36 inches.
To convert 5 yards to inches, you multiply 5 by 36:
5 yards * 36 inches/yard = 180 inches
Now we can compare the two measurements:
5 yards = 180 inches
150 inches
Since 180 inches is greater than 150 inches, the correct answer is:
A. 5 yards; it is 36 inches greater.
