Question

Look at these objects used by Jax, Jane, and Ms. Taylor Stitch to measure their objects.





If all their measurements result as:
Jax: $15$ blocks
Jane: $15$ paper clips
Ms. Taylor Stitch: $15$ pins,
then which of the following statements are true?

• A. Both a and b are correct.
• B. Both a and b are incorrect.
• C. Ms. Taylor ’s object is the longest.
• D. Jane’s object is the smallest.

Answer 1

The correct option is A Both a and b are correct.

Say:
On the screen we can see:
$2$ blocks $=4$ clips $=1$ pin
The measurements result as:
Jax: $15$ blocks
Jane: $15$ paper clips
Ms. Taylor Stitch: $15$ pins

Steps:
Let us make $15$ paper clips, pins, and blocks on the whiteboard and understand.
Jane used $15$ paper clips which are the smallest. Thus, his object will be the smallest.
Ms. Taylor used $15$ pins which are the longest. Thus, his object will be the longest.
Tim used $15$ blocks which are neither the shortest nor the longest objects of measurement among the three.
Let us look at each option one by one.
Option A says, Jane’s object is the smallest. True.
Option B says Ms. Taylor’s object is the longest. True.
Option C says both options A and B are true. Thus, Option C is the correct one.
