Question

complete the sentences.
shelley measures the length of a picnic basket in inches and in feet. the number of feet should be ____ than the number of inches. thats because a foot is ____ than an inch.
options: greater... smaller; greater... larger; less... smaller; less... larger

Explanation:

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches. So when measuring the same length, a larger unit (foot) will result in a smaller number of units, and a smaller unit (inch) will result in a larger number of units. For example, if a picnic basket is 24 inches long, in feet it is 24/12 = 2 feet. So the number of feet is less than the number of inches because a foot is larger than an inch.

Answer:

less... larger
