Answer 1

Answer:

The distance from Gary's school to  the BART station is 564 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the distance  from Gary's school to the corner market

y ----> the distance from Gary's school to  the BART station

we have

$x=47\ yd$

we know that

To find out the distance from Gary's school to  the BART station, multiply the distance from Gary's school to the corner market by 12

so

$y=12x$

substitute the value of x

$y=12(47)=564\ yd$

therefore

The distance from Gary's school to  the BART station is 564 yards
