Solution Steps

Solution Approach
  1. Question 11: Convert both lengths to the same unit (either centimeters or millimeters) and compare them to determine whose paper airplane is longer.

  2. Question 12: Convert the lengths of the shoelaces from centimeters to millimeters, then add them together to find the total length in millimeters.

  3. Question 13: Convert the total length of the candy bars from millimeters to centimeters.

Step 1: Comparing Paper Airplane Lengths

To determine whose paper airplane is longer, we convert Caleb's paper airplane length from millimeters to centimeters: \[ \text{Caleb's length in cm} = \frac{121 \text{ mm}}{10} = 12.1 \text{ cm} \] Now we compare the lengths: \[ \text{Jack's length} = 12 \text{ cm} \quad \text{and} \quad \text{Caleb's length} = 12.1 \text{ cm} \] Since \( 12.1 > 12 \), Caleb's paper airplane is longer.

Step 2: Total Length of Shoelaces

Next, we find the total length of Omar's shoelaces in millimeters. First, we convert each shoelace length from centimeters to millimeters: \[ \text{Total length in mm} = (85 \text{ cm} + 90 \text{ cm}) \times 10 = 1750 \text{ mm} \]

Step 3: Total Length of Candy Bars

For the candy bars, we assume each candy bar is 10 mm long. Thus, the total length of 7 candy bars in millimeters is: \[ \text{Total length in mm} = 7 \times 10 = 70 \text{ mm} \] Now, we convert this total length to centimeters: \[ \text{Total length in cm} = \frac{70 \text{ mm}}{10} = 7.0 \text{ cm} \]

Final Answer

  • The longest paper airplane is Caleb's.
  • The total length of the shoelaces is \( \boxed{1750 \text{ mm}} \).
  • The total length of the candy bars is \( \boxed{7.0 \text{ cm}} \).
