Question

Only boxes less than 3 1/2 feet wide will fit through a doorway. Which measurements show the widths of three boxes that will fit through a doorway? Please help!! Choices:
A. 36 in., 42 in., 40 in.
B. 42 in., 43 in., 38 in.
C. 40 in., 37 in., 41 in.
D. 38 in., 40in., 42 in.

Answer 1

We know that 3 1/2 feet will equal to 42 because one foot equals to twelve inches and half an inch is 6 (12/2=6). If use add them (36+6=42). Remember that you cannot include 42 because it says for boxes LESS than. So what option has that?

I guess the idea is
that no boxes over 42inches will pass through the doorway
so the doorway is likely a 42x42 hole

kinda ambiguous
