Question

what is longer 2 feet of ribbon or 30 inches and why

Answer 1

30 inches of ribbon because in one foot there are 12 inches so in 2 feet there are 24 inches. And 30 is greater than 24 so therefore 30 inches of ribbon is longer than 2 feet of ribbon

Answer 2

Each foot is equal to twelve inches.
2*12=24
24 < 30
Thus, thirty inches of ribbon is longer than two feet of ribbon.
