Question

The store employees held a frog leaping contest. Frog #1 jumped a distance of 8 feet 3 inches. Frog #2 jumped 2 yards 36 inches. Which frog won the contest? By how much?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Frog 1 - 8 feet 3 inches =

8 feet x (1 yard/3 feet) = 2.667 Yards

3 inches x (1 foot /12 inches) x ( 1 yard / 3 feet) = 0.83 yards

So Frog 1 = 2.75 Yard

Frog 2 - 2 yards 36 inches

36 inches x (1 foot /12 inches) x (1 yard / 3 feet) = 1 Yard

So Frog 2 = 3 yards

Frog 2 won

It won by 3 - 2.75 = 0.25 Yards

0.25 yards x (3 feet / 1 yard) = 0.75 feet

0.75 feet x (12 inches /1 foot) = 9 inches

So Frog 2 won by 9 inches
