Question

You have a pencil of length 6 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. 6 inches
• C. 24 inches
• D. 18 inches

Answer 1

The correct option is A 12 inches

Length of pencil $=6\text{inches}$

Two times the length of pencil $=6\times 2=12\text{inches}$

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

$\therefore$ The estimated length of paper $=12\text{inches}$
