1/3 foot >5 inches

5 miles=7,000 yards


8 yards <24 feet

54 inches =1 1/2yards

Answer 1

To determine which statement is true, let's evaluate each one:

1. **1/3 foot > 5 inches**:
- First, convert 1/3 foot to inches: 1 foot = 12 inches, so 1/3 foot = 12/3 = 4 inches.
- Since 4 inches is less than 5 inches, this statement is **false**.

2. **5 miles = 7,000 yards**:
- Convert miles to yards: 1 mile = 1,760 yards.
- Therefore, 5 miles = 5 * 1,760 yards = 8,800 yards.
- This statement is **false**.

3. **8 yards < 24 feet**:
- Convert yards to feet: 1 yard = 3 feet, so 8 yards = 8 * 3 = 24 feet.
- Therefore, 8 yards is **not less than** 24 feet (they are equal). Hence, this statement is **false**.

4. **54 inches = 1 1/2 yards**:
- Convert 1 1/2 yards to inches: 1 yard = 36 inches, so 1 1/2 yards = 1.5 * 36 = 54 inches.
- This statement is **true**.

The true statement is: **54 inches = 1 1/2 yards**.
