Question

After reading The Lord of the Rings, Francesca signs up for archery lessons. At her first lesson, she sets up her target 5 feet away from her. After lots of practice, she now sets up her target 15 yards away. How many times farther away does Francesca set up her target now?

Answer 1

`3` times

Explanation:

`5x=15`

Divide both sides by 5

`x=3`

Hope this helps

Answer 2

9 Times

Explanation:

You need to find how many times farther away Amy sets up her target. She used to set it up 5 feet away. Start by finding how many feet away she sets up her target now.

There are 3 feet in a yard, so multiply 15 yards by 3.

15×3=45

Now, Amy sets up her target 45 feet away. She used to set it up 5 feet away. You can use a multiplication fact to find how many times farther away she sets up her target now.

5×9=45

Amy sets up her target 9 times farther away now.
