Model A is 7.125 ft wide.  Model B is 93/12 = 7  [tex] \frac{9}{12} [/tex] or 7 [tex] \frac{3}{4} [/tex]  which can be written as the decimal 7.75

To compare we add a zero to make them the same length

7.125 < 7.750  so Model B is wider by .625ft  (or 5/8 of a foot)

Answer:

a). Model A = 7.125 ft

Model B = 7.75 ft

b). Car B is wider than Car A.

Step-by-step explanation:

a). Model A of the car is [tex]7\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ft wide.

Model B is 93 inches wide.

Since 12 inches = 1 foot

      So, 1 inch  = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] foot

Therefore, 93 inches = [tex]\frac{93}{12}[/tex] feet

                                   = [tex]\frac{31}{4}[/tex] feet or [tex]7\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet

Length of the model A =  [tex]7\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ft = 7.125 ft

Length of the model B =  [tex]7\frac{3}{4}[/tex] ft = 7.75 ft

b). Now we have to compare both the models having measures [tex]7\frac{1}{8}[/tex] ft and [tex]7\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet respectively.

As we ave seen in part (a), model B is more wider than model B.

Therefore, car B will be more wider.
