5. Clyde grew 1/12 of a foot last month and 1/6 of a foot this month. How much more did he grow this month than last month?


6. Ryan is making a rectangular picture frame for a picture that is 13 inches wide and 18 inches high. He can buy the wood in pieces that are 24 inches long. Will two pieces be long enough to make his frame? (first find the perimeter of his picture, then find out if 2x24 will be long enough.)
