Nate's front yard was 50 feet wide. each time he pushed the mower along the length of the yard, he mowed a path 24 inches wide. To mow the entire yard, how many times did nate nedd to push the mower along the lentgh of the yard
50 / 2 = ?
First, we need to convert the width of the yard and the width of the mower path into the same units. Since the width of the yard is given in feet and the mower's width is given in inches, let's convert everything to inches.
The width of the yard is 50 feet, so in inches, it would be:
50 feet * 12 inches/foot = 600 inches
The width of the mower path is 24 inches.
To calculate the number of times Nate needs to push the mower along the length of the yard, we divide the total width of the yard by the width of the mower's path:
Number of times = Yard width / Mower path width
= 600 inches / 24 inches
= 25
So, Nate needs to push the mower along the length of the yard 25 times to mow the entire yard.
To find the number of times Nate needs to push the mower along the length of the yard, we need to convert the measurements to the same unit and then divide the total width of the yard by the width of each path mowed.
1. Convert 50 feet to inches: Since there are 12 inches in a foot, we multiply 50 by 12 to get 600 inches.
2. Divide the total width of the yard (600 inches) by the width of each path mowed (24 inches) to find the number of times Nate needs to push the mower along the length of the yard: 600 รท 24 = 25.
Therefore, Nate needs to push the mower along the length of the yard 25 times in order to mow the entire yard.
