Answer:
Gary has to make 30 jumps to travel a distance of 9 meters
Step-by-step explanation:
Complete Question
Greg Grasshopper has three cousins: Gary, Grant, and Garth. They all can jump 10
times farther than their length. Figure out how many jumps each cousin needs to
make to travel a distance of 9 meters. (Hint: There are 100 centimeters in a meter.)
Use numbers, sketches, or words to show your work.
a Gary is 3 centimeters long.
Gary has to make _______ jumps to travel a distance of 9 meters.
Solution
Given length of Gary [tex]= 3[/tex] centimeters
As we know, [tex]1[/tex] Meter [tex]= 100[/tex] centimeters
Length of Gary in meters [tex]= 0.03[/tex] meters
Now the distance covered in one jump is equal to
length of Gray x [tex]10[/tex] (as Gary can jump 10 times farther than his length)
Distance covered in one jump
[tex]0.03 * 10\\[/tex]
[tex]= 0.3[/tex] meter
So number of jumps required to cover a distance of [tex]9[/tex] meters is equal to
[tex]\frac{9}{0.3} \\= 30[/tex]
Thus, Gary has to make 30 jumps to travel a distance of 9 meters
