Question

There are two balance beams at gym. One is 15 feet long,the other is 162 inches long. Which beam is longer?

Answer 1

The 15 ft. long balance beam because 162 inches is 13.5 ft.

Answer 2

There are two balance beams at the gym.

One of the beam is 15 feet long.

Let us first convert feet into inches.

The conversion rate is :

1 feet =12 inches

Now let us convert 15 feet into inches now.

By applying unitary method,

1 feet has 12 inches.

15 feet = 12*15 = 180 inches.

The second beam is 162 inches.

So comparing 180 and 162 .

180>162

So the first beam is longer than second beam.
