Suppose the lengths of two strings are 10 centimeters and 17 centimeters. describe in words how the lengths of these two strings compare.

They are both in cm and greater than 9 cm

They compare since the length of the strings in centimeters are greater than 10. They also compare because the length of the strings in centimeters are less than 20. They also are measured in centimeters.. and so forth.. hope this helps :))
