Question: 369

13. A particular entrance is 84 inches tall. Kyle is planning a costume party and wants to enter the room through this doorway. If Kyle is 1.5 meters tall, the tallest hat he can place on his head and still be able to walk through the doorway without his hat touching the frame of the entrance must be less than which of the following? (1 m = 39 in)

  • A. 24 in
  • B. 25 in
  • C. 25.5 in
  • D. 39 in

Correct Answer: C

Explanation:

C

First, convert meters to inches to obtain an apples-to-apples comparison: 1.5 × 39 = 58.5. Subtract 58.5 from 84: 25.5.
