Question

Who has the shortest pencil Kyle 5 3/4 pencil length Janelle 5 1/8 pencil length whitney 5.5 pencil length Elijah 5.25 pencil length Javier 5 3/16 pencil length

Answer 1

To find out who has the shortest pencil, we need to compare the lengths:

- Kyle: 5 3/4 inches
- Janelle: 5 1/8 inches
- Whitney: 5.5 inches
- Elijah: 5.25 inches
- Javier: 5 3/16 inches

Now let's convert all these measurements to improper fractions or decimals for easy comparison:

1. Kyle: 5 3/4 = 5 + 3/4 = 5 + 0.75 = 5.75 inches
2. Janelle: 5 1/8 = 5 + 1/8 = 5 + 0.125 = 5.125 inches
3. Whitney: 5.5 inches
4. Elijah: 5.25 inches
5. Javier: 5 3/16 = 5 + 3/16 = 5 + 0.1875 = 5.1875 inches

Now comparing the decimal values:

- Kyle: 5.75
- Janelle: 5.125
- Whitney: 5.5
- Elijah: 5.25
- Javier: 5.1875

Janelle has the shortest pencil at **5 1/8 inches** or **5.125 inches**.
