Comparing Lengths of Objects

The video tutorial explains how to compare the lengths of two objects, such as a car and a garage, to determine if one will fit into the other. It introduces two methods for comparison: counting and subtraction. The counting method involves counting the difference in numbers, while the subtraction method involves subtracting the smaller length from the larger one. These methods help determine if an object is longer or shorter than another, ensuring proper fit.

Why is it important to compare the lengths of objects?

• To measure the volume of an object

• To determine if one object is heavier than the other

• To find out if one object can fit into another space

• To calculate the area of an object

What is the first step in comparing the lengths of two objects?

• Measure the length of each object separately

• Compare the weights of the objects

• Calculate the area of each object

• Estimate the length of each object

If a car is 16 feet long and a garage is 12 feet long, how can you determine if the car will fit?

• By checking the height of the car

• By measuring the width of the garage

• By counting the numbers from 12 to 16

• By adding the lengths together

How many numbers are there between 12 and 16?

• Six

• Five

• Four

• Three

What does it mean if the car is four feet longer than the garage?

• The car is too long to fit in the garage

• The car will fit perfectly

• The car and garage are the same length

• The car is too short for the garage

If a car is 15 feet long and a garage is 18 feet long, how can you determine if the car will fit?

• By checking the height of the garage

• By measuring the width of the car

• By subtracting the car's length from the garage's length

• By adding the lengths together

What is the result of subtracting 15 from 18 in the context of comparing lengths?

• The car is three feet shorter than the garage

• The car and garage are the same length

• The garage is three feet longer than the car

• The car is three feet longer than the garage
