Answer 1

Answer:

The driveway of the brown house is longer by 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given two houses (red and brown) such that:

• The driveway in front of the brown house is 35 feet long.
• The driveway in front of the red house is 7 yards and 9 feet long.

We want to determine which of the houses has a longer driver.

To compare, we must ensure that all units are the same.

• 1 Yard =3 Feet

Therefore: 7 Yards =3 X 7 feet =21 feet

Driveway of the red house =7 yards and 9 feet long=21+9=30 feet

Therefore:

• The driveway in front of the brown house is 35 feet long.
• The driveway in front of the red house is 30 feet long.

The driveway of the brown house is longer by 5 feet.
