Question

A track star jumped 6 feet. The record is 84 inches. How much further does he need to jump to beat the record?

Answer 1

Answer:

1 foot or 12 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 12 incher in every foot, we divide 84 by 12, giving us a total of 7ft. He has to jump 1 foot, or 12 inches more, to beat the record.

Answer 2

Answer:

12 inches or 1 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

Firstly, convert the 6 feet to inches.

(There are 12 inches in 1 foot)

So, 6 feet is 72 inches (6 * 12)

Now, you can subtract this total from the record, to find how much farther he needs to jump:

84 - 72 = How much further

84 - 72 = 12

Therefore, he needs to jump 12 inches further.

To place in feet form, then convert 12 inches to feet.

(There are 12 inches in a foot)

So, 12 inches is 1 foot
