Question

You have a pencil of length 5.5 inches, and you want to measure the length of a blank paper. You figured out that the length of the paper is equivalent to two times the length of the pencil. Estimate the length of the paper.

• A. 12 inches
• B. 11 inches
• C. 5.5 inches

Answer 1

The correct option is B 11 inches

Length of pencil $=5.5\text{inches}$

Two times the length of pencil $=5.5\times 2=11\text{inches}$

Length of the paper is equivalent to two times the length of the pencil.

$\therefore$ The estimated length of paper $=11\text{inches}$
