Question

Paula ran 24 ft with the football and then passed it 15 feet to newt. Newt ran 70 yards for a touch down. what was the total number of feet the ball traveled?

Answer 1

249 feet

Explanation:

• It is given that the ball traveled 39 feet (24 feet + 15 feet)

• We need to convert 70 yards and add to 39 feet to find the total number of feet.
• There is 3 feet in 1 yard, so we can multiply the number of yards by 3 to find the number of feet
• 70 x 3 = 210 feet
• We can now add 210 to 39
• 210 + 39 = 249 feet
