Question

Trent lets his hook drop another 10 inches. What is the distance, in feet, between the tip of the fishing rod and the hook? Do not round your answer

Answer 1

1 foot = 12 inches

To get how many feet is = to 10 inches, divide 10/12.

10/12 = 0.833333333
Or you could say 5/6 feet.

The distance in feet between the tip of the fishing rod and the hook is 0.833333333 feet.

Answer 2

Answer: In feet, the distance between the tip of the fishing rod and the hook =0.8333333333... feet

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 1 foot = 12 inches

Therefore, 1 inch = $\frac{1}{12}$ foot

Given: Trent lets his hook drop another 10 inches.

Thus, the distance between the tip of the fishing rod and the hook = 10 inches.

In feet, the distance between the tip of the fishing rod and the hook =$\frac{1}{12}\times10$ feet =0.83333333333... feet

Hence, In feet, the distance between the tip of the fishing rod and the hook =0.83333333333... feet
