Question

the driveway in front of the brown house is 35 feet long and the driveway of the red house is 7 yards and 9 feet long. which house has a long driveway? by how much

Answer 1

Answer:

The brown house has the longer driveway

Step-by-step explanation:

So we would need to convert both of these units of measurements to feet in order to compare them.

• There are 3 feet in 1 yard

Converting yards to feet, wee need to multiply the number of yards by 3

• 7 yards = 21 feet

Since the red house has a driveway of 7 yards and 9 feet, we can rewrite this to 21 feet + 9 feet, which is equivalent to 30 feet

Now comparing the two driveways, the 35 ft-long brown driveway is 5 feet longer than the 30 ft-long red driveway.

The brown house has the longer driveway
