To determine how many more feet swimmer A swim than B, we first need to convert the measurements given into the same units which would be in feet. We do as follows:
A = 100 m (1 ft / 3.28 m ) = 30.49 ft
B = 100 yds ( 3 ft / 1 yd) = 300 ft
Then, we subtract the value of B to A.
30.49 - 300 = -269.51 ft ( the negative means that A swim less than B)
Therefore, swimmer A swim 269.51 ft less than swimmer B.
A = 100 m (1 ft / 3.28 m ) = 30.49 ft
B = 100 yds ( 3 ft / 1 yd) = 300 ft
Then, we subtract the value of B to A.
30.49 - 300 = -269.51 ft ( the negative means that A swim less than B)
Therefore, swimmer A swim 269.51 ft less than swimmer B.
Answer:
Swimmer a swims [tex]28\frac{1}{12}\text{ feet}[/tex] more than swimmer b.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
The distance covered by swimmer a = 100 meters,
Also, the distance covered by swimmer b = 100 yards,
Difference between the distance covered by a and b = 100 meters - 100 yards
We know that,
1 meter - 1 yards = 3.37 inches,
⇒ 100( 1 meter - 1 yard ) = 337 inches.
⇒ 100 meters - 100 yards = 337 inches
⇒ Difference between the distance covered by a and b = 337 inches,
Since, 1 foot = 12 inches,
⇒ Difference between the distance covered by a and b = [tex]\frac{337}{12}= 28\frac{1}{12}\text{ feet}[/tex]
Hence, swimmer a swims [tex]28\frac{1}{12}\text{ feet}[/tex] more than swimmer b.
