Question

A builder uses a digital reader to find the length and width of a room. He found that the length of the room is 18.586 feet, and the width of the room is 14.261 feet. How much longer is the length of the room than the width of the room?
A.
4.324 feet
B.
4.325 feet
C.
4.334 feet
D.
4.352 feet

Answer 1

To find out how much longer the length of the room is compared to the width, you can subtract the width from the length:

Length = 18.586 feet
Width = 14.261 feet

Difference = Length - Width
Difference = 18.586 - 14.261
Difference = 4.325 feet

So, the length of the room is 4.325 feet longer than the width of the room. The correct answer is:

B. 4.325 feet
