Q. Gabby and Carla needed some construction paper for an art project. Gabby bought a package that has sheets of paper 1100\frac{1}{100} of an inch thick. Carla bought a package that has sheets 0.0120.012 inches thick.\newlineWhich girl bought the thicker paper?\newlineChoices:\newline(A)Gabby\newline(B)Carla
  1. Convert to inches: Step 11: Convert Gabby's paper thickness to inches for comparison.\newlineGabby's paper thickness = 1100\frac{1}{100} inch.\newlineCarla's paper thickness = 0.0120.012 inches.
  2. Compare thicknesses: Step 22: Compare the thicknesses.\newline1100\frac{1}{100} inch = 0.010.01 inches.\newline0.010.01 inches (Gabby) vs 0.0120.012 inches (Carla).
  3. Determine thicker paper: Step 33: Determine who has the thicker paper.\newlineSince 0.012 > 0.01, Carla's paper is thicker.
