Carlos can throw a ball 14 yards. Raul can throw 3/7 of that distance. Is Raul's throw longer or shorter than 14 yards?
I think it is longer by 32 2/3 yards.
Is this correct?
Nope.
No, your calculation is not correct. Let's break down the problem step by step:
Carlos can throw a ball 14 yards.
Raul can throw 3/7 of that distance.
To find out the distance Raul can throw, we need to calculate 3/7 of 14 yards:
(3/7) * 14 = (3 * 14) / 7 = 42/7 = 6 yards.
So, Raul can throw 6 yards, which is shorter than 14 yards, not longer.
Therefore, Raul's throw is shorter than 14 yards.
