Question

The distance from third base to home plate is 88.9 feet. Romeo was 22.1 feet away from third base when he was tagged out. The equation 88.9 - t = 22.1 can be used to determine how far he neeeded to run to get to home plate. Using substitution, the coach determines that Romeo needed to run

Answer 1

Answer:  The coach determines that Romeo needed to run 66.8 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Distance from third base to home plate = 88.9 feet

Distance that away from third base when he was tagged out = 22.1 feet

According to question, the equation that can be used to determine how far he needed to run to get to home plate is given by

$88.9-t=22.1\\\\here,\text{ t denotes the distance he needed to run to get to home plate.}\\\\88.9-22.1=t\\\\t=66.8\ feet$

Hence, The coach determines that Romeo needed to run 66.8 feet.
