Explanation:

Question 37

Step1: Convert truck length to inches

The truck bed is 11.5 feet long. Since 1 foot = 12 inches, we calculate the length in inches as $11.5 \times 12$.
$11.5 \times 12 = 138$ inches.

Step2: Compare marlin length and truck length

The marlin is 128 inches long. The truck bed is 138 inches long. Since $128 < 138$, the marlin is shorter than the truck bed.

Step1: Understand the ratio

The ratio of bleach to water is 1 tablespoon of bleach per 1 gallon of water.

Step2: Calculate bleach needed for 15 gallons

If for 1 gallon we need 1 tablespoon, for 15 gallons we need $1 \times 15$ tablespoons.
$1 \times 15 = 15$ tablespoons.

Answer:

Yes, the marlin will fit in the bed of his truck; it measures less than 11.5 feet.
