Question

Brian needs a small lamp for his desk. Which set orders lamp heights from tallest to shortest? A. {0.75 yd, ft, 2 ft, 16 in.} B. {16 in., ft, 0.75 yd, 2 ft} C. {0.75 yd, 2 ft, ft, 16 in.} D. {16 in., 2 ft, ft, 0.75 yd}

Answer 1

To do this problem, you should convert all of the answers to the same unit. I am going to convert them to inches.
The picture shows how to use dimensional analysis to convert them to inches.
0.75 yd = 27 in
2 ft = 24 in
16 in
So, you want 0.75 yd, 2 ft, 16 in.
The answer is A.
