Question

Some kangaroos can cover 30 feet in a single jump if a kangaroo counts jump like that 150 times in a row how much farther wound it need to go to cover a mile

Answer 1

Distance farther the Kangaroos need to go to cover a mile = 780 feet

Explanation:

Given:

Kangaroos cover 30 feet in a single jump.

Kangaroos can make such jumps 150 times in a row.

To find the distance farther it needs to go to cover a mile.

Solution:

Using unitary method to find distance covered by kangaroos in a row.

If in a single jump Kangaroos cover = 30 feet

So, in 150 jumps it will cover =
`30\ ft * 150` = 4500 feet

We know 1 mile = 5280 feet

Thus, distance farther the Kangaroo needs to go to cover a mile will be =
`5280\ ft-4500\ ft` = 780 feet
