A baseball diamond has 90 ft. between each base. A softball diamond has 60 ft between each base. How many yards longer is the space between bases on a baseball diamond than a softball diamond?
3 feet = 1 yard
90/3 = ______ yards
60/3 = _______ yards
To find out how many yards longer the space between bases is on a baseball diamond compared to a softball diamond, we need to convert the measurements to yards and then calculate the difference.
The space between bases on a baseball diamond is 90 ft, and on a softball diamond, it is 60 ft.
To convert feet to yards, we divide by 3, since there are 3 feet in a yard.
So, the space between bases on a baseball diamond is 90 ft / 3 = 30 yards.
And the space between bases on a softball diamond is 60 ft / 3 = 20 yards.
To find the difference, we subtract the length of the softball diamond basepath from the baseball diamond basepath: 30 yards - 20 yards = 10 yards.
Therefore, the space between bases on a baseball diamond is 10 yards longer than the space between bases on a softball diamond.
To find the difference in length between the space between bases on a baseball diamond and a softball diamond, you first need to convert both measurements to the same unit of measure. In this case, let's convert both measurements to yards.
1 foot = 0.3333 yards (rounded to 4 decimal places)
The distance between bases on a baseball diamond is 90 ft, which is equal to 90 * 0.3333 = 29.997 yards.
Similarly, the distance between bases on a softball diamond is 60 ft, which is equal to 60 * 0.3333 = 19.998 yards.
Finally, subtracting the length of the space between bases on a softball diamond from the length of the space between bases on a baseball diamond, we get:
29.997 - 19.998 = 9.999 yards.
Therefore, the space between bases on a baseball diamond is 9.999 yards longer than the space between bases on a softball diamond.
