some kangaroos can cover 30 feet in a singke jump! if a kangaroo could jump like that 150 times in a row, how much farther would it need to go to cover a mile? (1 mile = 5,280 feet)
5,280 - (30 * 150) = ?
To find out how much farther the kangaroo would need to go to cover a mile, we first need to calculate the total distance covered in 150 jumps.
Since each jump covers 30 feet, the total distance covered in 150 jumps would be:
Distance covered in 150 jumps = 30 feet/jump × 150 jumps
Now, let's calculate the total distance covered by the kangaroo in 150 jumps:
Distance covered in 150 jumps = 30 feet/jump × 150 jumps = 4,500 feet
Since 1 mile is equal to 5,280 feet, we can calculate how much farther the kangaroo would need to go to cover a mile:
Distance to cover a mile - Distance covered in 150 jumps = 5,280 feet - 4,500 feet
Now, let's calculate the remaining distance the kangaroo needs to cover:
Remaining distance = 780 feet
Therefore, the kangaroo would need to go an additional 780 feet to cover a mile.
