Answer:
Difference in length between two whales is 362 inches or 10 yards and 2 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Lets convert the values to inches:
1 yard = 36 inches
Length of a beluga whale in inches:
5 yards = [tex]5*36[/tex] inches = [tex]180[/tex] inches
Therefore total length of a beluga whale = 180 inches + 3 inches
=183 inches
Length of a gray whale in inches:
15 yards = [tex]15*36[/tex] inches = [tex]540[/tex] inches
Therefore total length of a beluga whale = 540 inches + 5 inches
=545 inches
Difference in length between two whales = 545 inches - 183 inches
= 362 inches
To represent this in yards and inches we can divide the value by 36.
[tex]\frac{362}{36} =10.06[/tex] yards
=10 yards and 2 inches
Difference in length between two whales is 10 yards and 2 inches.
