You're welcome.

Oh ok cool :)
To determine if Christy bought enough lumber for the trim, we need to compare the length of the lumber she bought with the length needed for the trim.
First, we need to convert the length of the lumber she bought from feet to inches. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, an 8-foot piece of lumber is equal to:
8 feet * 12 inches/foot = 96 inches
Next, we compare the length Christy needs for the trim, which is given as 100 inches.
Since the length of the lumber she bought (96 inches) is less than the length needed for the trim (100 inches), we can conclude that Christy did not buy enough lumber for the trim.
Explanation: By converting the units and comparing the lengths, we can determine if Christy bought enough lumber.
