Raquel and her family are moving from Portland Oregon to Seattle Washington. She is comparing annual rainfall to prepare for her move. Portland's annual rainfall is 3 1/2 feet. Seattle's annual rainfall is 37 in. Which city gets more rain?
They both get the same
Toolbox answer is 24*18*36
Explanation: 2 ft=24 1 1/2 ft=18 in 3ft=36 in They're are asking for the DIMENSION. Just take all of the answers and write them down. You do not need to multiply these numbers.
For the question about the toolbox, I think you're supposed to give each dimension in inches.
Rainfall? No, they don't both get the same.
1ft=12in
2ft=24
3ft=36
And Portland gets more rainfall?
Now both are right. 3 1/2 feet = 42 inches

To convert the dimensions of Anthony's toolbox from feet to inches, you can multiply each dimension by 12, since there are 12 inches in a foot.
Length: 2 feet * 12 inches/foot = 24 inches
Width: 1 foot * 12 inches/foot = 12 inches
Height: 3 feet * 12 inches/foot = 36 inches
So, Anthony's toolbox has dimensions 24 inches x 12 inches x 36 inches.
Now, let's compare the annual rainfall between Portland and Seattle. To do this, we need to convert the rainfall measurements to the same unit.
Portland's annual rainfall is given as 3 1/2 feet. To convert this to inches, we multiply by 12:
3 1/2 feet * 12 inches/foot = 42 inches
Seattle's annual rainfall is given as 37 inches.
Since 42 inches is greater than 37 inches, Portland gets more rain annually compared to Seattle.
