Jim has 5 pieces of string. He needs to choose the piece that will be able to go around his 36-
inch waist. His belt broke, and his pants are falling down. The piece needs to be at least 4 inches
longer than his waist so he can tie a knot in it, but it cannot be more that 6 inches longer so that
the ends will not show from under his shirt. Which of the following pieces of string will work the
best?
A. 3 4/5 feet
B. 3 2/3 feet
C. 3 3/8 feet
D. 3 1/4 feet
E. 2 1/2 feet
