Question

If the length of 1 blue paperclip is 2 inches, what is the length of 1 red paperclip?

• A. Approximately 3 inches
• B. Approximately 5 inches
• C. Approximately 2 inches
• D. Approximately 1 inch

Answer 1

The correct option is A Approximately 3 inches

Length of 1 blue paperclip = 2 inches


From the figure, we observe that the length of the red paperclip is less than the length of 2 blue paperclips.

$\text{So, the length of the red paperclip < 4 inches.}$

∴ Approximately 3 inches is the correct choice.
