carlos can throw a ball 14 yards . His friend raul can throw 3/7 of that distance. Is rauls throw longer or shorter than 14 yards? Now find the exact length of Raul's throw.
To determine whether Raul's throw is longer or shorter than 14 yards, we need to compare 3/7 of 14 yards to 14 yards.
First, let's find 3/7 of 14 yards using the formula:
(3/7) * 14 = 42/7 = 6 yards.
So, Raul's throw is shorter than 14 yards.
The exact length of Raul's throw is 6 yards.
To determine whether Raul's throw is longer or shorter than 14 yards, we need to compare it to the given distance.
We are told that Carlos can throw a ball 14 yards. Raul, on the other hand, can throw 3/7 of that distance. To find Raul's throw, we need to multiply 14 yards by 3/7:
Raul's throw = 14 yards * 3/7
To simplify this calculation, we can multiply the numerators and the denominators separately:
Raul's throw = (14 * 3) / (7 * 1)
Multiplying the numerators gives us 42, and multiplying the denominators gives us 7. Therefore:
Raul's throw = 42 / 7
Simplifying the fraction, we have:
Raul's throw = 6 yards
So, Raul's throw is shorter than 14 yards. The exact length of Raul's throw is 6 yards.
