3. John has 4 yards of fabric. Jane has 120 inches of fabric. Who has more fabric? How much more?

1 answer

To compare the amount of fabric John and Jane have, we need to convert Jane's measurement from inches to yards (since John's measurement is already in yards).

120 inches is equal to 3.33 yards (120 รท 36).

So, Jane has less fabric than John, since 4 yards is greater than 3.33 yards.

To find out how much more fabric John has, we can subtract Jane's amount from John's amount:

4 yards - 3.33 yards = 0.67 yards

Therefore, John has 0.67 yards (or approximately 24 inches) more fabric than Jane.
