Answer 1

Answer:

Yes, 144>140

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Sinita has 3 boxes of 48 nails, Sinita has a total of 144 nails. (48x3=144)

Sinita needs enough for 35 frames, and each frame uses 4 nails, so she will need a total of 140 nails. (35x4=140)

what Sinita has: 144

what Sinita needs: 140

Sinita has more than what she needs, so yes Sinita has enough nails. (144>140)
