No

Step-by-step explanation:

Because Christy needs to find the length of lumber in inches, we'll need to convert 8 feet to inches.

There are 12 inches in each foot, so multiply:

12 * 8 = 96

Now we can compare. Christy needs 100 inches, but she only has 96. So Christy did not buy enough lumber.
