Question

Christy bought an 8 foot piece of lumber to trim a bookshelf. Altogether, she needs 100 inches of lumber for the trim. Did christy by enough lumber? Explain

Answer 1

NO

Explanation:

Answer 2

No

Explanation:

Because Christy needs to find the length of lumber in inches, we'll need to convert 8 feet to inches.

There are 12 inches in each foot, so multiply:

12 × 8 = 96

Now we can compare. Christy needs 100 inches, but she only has 96. So Christy did not buy enough lumber.
