Answer 1

The distance from Gary's school to the BART station is 564 yards

Explanation:

Let

x ----> the distance from Gary's school to the corner market

y ----> the distance from Gary's school to the BART station

we have

`x=47\ yd`

we know that

To find out the distance from Gary's school to the BART station, multiply the distance from Gary's school to the corner market by 12

so

`y=12x`

substitute the value of x

`y=12(47)=564\ yd`

therefore

The distance from Gary's school to the BART station is 564 yards
