Question

complete the sentences.
dana measures the length of a string in feet and in inches. the number of inches should be ____ than the number of feet. thats because an inch is ____ than a foot.
greater ... smaller greater ... larger
less ... smaller less ... larger

Explanation:

To solve this, we recall the relationship between feet and inches. We know that 1 foot = 12 inches. So, when measuring the same length, since an inch is a smaller unit than a foot, we need more inches to represent the same length as feet. For example, a 2 - foot string is 24 inches. 24 (inches) is greater than 2 (feet), and an inch is smaller than a foot. So the correct pair of words is "greater" and "smaller".

Answer:

greater... smaller
