Question

complete the sentences.
shane measures the height of a ladder in yards and in inches. the number of inches should be ____ than the number of yards. thats because an inch is ____ than a yard.
options: more... larger; less... larger; more... smaller; less... smaller

Explanation:

To determine the correct words, we analyze the relationship between inches and yards. We know that 1 yard = 36 inches, so an inch is a smaller unit than a yard. When measuring the same length (the ladder's height), a smaller unit will require a larger number of units. For example, if a ladder is 1 yard tall, it is 36 inches tall—36 (inches) is more than 1 (yard), and an inch is smaller than a yard. So the first blank needs "more" and the second blank needs "smaller".

Answer:

more... smaller
