Question

Estimate the length of the pen if the length of the sharpener is 3 inches and the length of the notebook is 1 foot.

• A. 9 inches
• B. 1 foot
• C. 3 inches
• D. 6 inches

Answer 1

The correct option is A 9 inches

Length of the sharpener = 3 inches
Length of the notebook = 1 foot = 12 inches
Now, the pen is larger than half the notebook, which means larger than 6 inches.
The length of the pen is almost thrice the length of the sharpener.
Hence, the length of the pen is 9 inches.
Option D is correct.
