Steve sprinted the last 25 1/2 yds of a race. How many feet did he sprint? how many meters?
Problem #2
A professional basketball court is 94 feet long. How many inches is that? how many meters?
1 yard = 3 feet
1 yard = 0.9144 meters
1 foot = 12 inches
1 foot = 0.3048 meters
now just do the conversions
To find the number of feet Steve sprinted, we can simply calculate 25 1/2 yards in feet.
1 yard is equal to 3 feet, so 25 yards would be 25 * 3 = 75 feet.
Since there is an additional half yard, we add 1/2 * 3 = 1.5 feet.
Therefore, Steve sprinted a total of 75 + 1.5 = 76.5 feet.
To convert that to meters, we need to know that 1 foot is approximately 0.3048 meters.
So, to find the number of meters, we multiply the number of feet by 0.3048: 76.5 * 0.3048 = 23.317 meters.
In Problem #2, we are given that a professional basketball court is 94 feet long. To find the length in inches, we need to know that 1 foot is equal to 12 inches.
So, to find the number of inches, we multiply the number of feet by 12: 94 * 12 = 1128 inches.
To convert this length to meters, we need to know that 1 inch is approximately 0.0254 meters.
Therefore, to find the number of meters, we multiply the number of inches by 0.0254: 1128 * 0.0254 = 28.6512 meters.
