Question
John is an athlete. During his daily training, John hops along a path that is 35 yards long. If he can hop forward 12 inches each time, find the number of hops John can make along the 35-yard path.
- 110
- 140
- 105
- 205
Hint:
1 yard=36 inches
The correct answer is: 105
Since, 1 yard = 36 inches
35 yards = 36 × 35 inches=1260 inches
Now, as he hops 12 inches ahead each time
Number of hops John can make along the 35 yard path are:1,260 ÷ 12 = 105 hops
Remember the conversion formula from yard to inches and divide the total distance with the distance covered in each hop to find the total number of hops.
