Answer 2

Given:

Board = 12 inches

Board required to make the chair = 29 cm

To Find:

If the board is long enough to make the chair

Explanation:

There are 2 measurement given that we need to compare. However. they are in different units. So we will need to convert one of the measurement to be the same as the other one.

Solution

Lets convert the inch to cm:

1 inch =  2.54 cm

12 inches = 2.54 x 12

12 inches = 30.48 cm

Now we can compare the length:

Board = 30.48 cm

Required = 29 cm

Since 30.48 cm is bigger than 29 cm

⇒ The board is long enough to make the chair.

Answer: Yes, it is long enough
