This question is all about dimensional analysis. The whole idea behind dimensional analysis is that you multiply a starting value with different conversion factors to cancel out units you don't want to tern the value into the units that you do want. The conversion for yards to feet can be written as 3 feet/yard (this is the conversion factor it can be written as 3feet/1yard or 1yard/3feet, it depends on what you are starting with). If you start out with yards and and want to go to feet you have to multiply the number of yards by 3feet/yard so that the yards cancel out leaving you with feet. If start out with feet and want to go to yards you divide the number of feet by 3feet/yard so that the feet cancel out and you are left with yards.
In your question Tom is trying to go from feet to yards. Therefore he has to divide the number of feet by 3feet/yard to get feet to cancel out. His mistake was that he multiplied by 3feet/yard instead of divide by 3feet/yard. The correct way do it is divide 379 feet by 3feet/yard to get 126.33 yards.
Let me know if anything is unclear to you in the comments. This is a very important skill to learn since this is the basis of many high school and college science classes.
I hope this helps.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A: 15
Part B: $125
Given this equation:

That represents t<span>he height of a tree in feet over (x) years. Let's analyze each statement according to figure 1 that shows the graph of this equation.
</span>
The tree's maximum height is limited to 30 ft.
As shown in figure below, the tree is not limited, so this statement is false.
<span>
The tree is initially 2 ft tall
The tree was planted in x = 0, so evaluating the function for this value, we have:
</span>

<span>
<span>So, the tree is initially

tall.
</span>
Therefore this statement is false.
</span>
Between the 5th and 7th years, the tree grows approximately 7 ft.
<span>
if x = 5 then:
</span>

<span>
</span>if x = 7 then:

So, between the 5th and 7th years the height of the tree remains constant
:

This is also a false statement.
<span>
After growing 15 ft, the tree's rate of growth decreases.</span>
It is reasonable to think that the height of this tree finally will be 301ft. Why? well, if x grows without bound, then the term

approaches zero.
Therefore this statement is also false.
Conclusion: After being planted this tree won't grow.
