Answer 1

To determine which response represents the longest possible length and width of the rectangle with appropriate precision, we should look for the largest numerical values in each option. Here's a breakdown of the responses:

1. 3.8 and 5.2 inches: Length = 3.8, Width = 5.2
2. 3.3 and 4.7 inches: Length = 3.3, Width = 4.7
3. 3.85 and 5.25 inches: Length = 3.85, Width = 5.25
4. 3.95 and 5.35 inches: Length = 3.95, Width = 5.35

Now, we compare the lengths and widths:

• The maximum length among the options is 3.95 inches (from the last option).
• The maximum width among the options is 5.35 inches (from the last option).

Thus, the response that provides the longest length and width with appropriate precision is:

3.95 and 5.35 inches.
