How far has he traveled vertically to the nearest yard in combined trips up and down? A.)111 yards B.)222 yards C.)666 yards D.)4321 yards E.)8000 yards

Answer 1

THE ANSWER IS 222 YARDS

Explanation:

Answer 2

111 yards

Explanation:

It is given that each step is 8 inches high and there are a total of 50 stairs. Joseph makes 10 round trips up and down.

Each stair is 8 inches high, so the height of 50 stairs is,

=
`8 * 50 = 400` inches.

Joseph took 10 round trips, which means he went up 10 times and he came down 10 times, we need to find the distance he has traveled vertically in the combined trips, so out of 10 round trips Joseph has gone up 10 times. So the total distance he covered going vertically up is,

=
`400 * 10 = 4000` inches.

Now, we know that 1 inch = 0.0277 yards

So, 4000 inches is equal to,

`4000 * 0.0277 = 111.11` yards

Therefore, the distance he has traveled vertically to the nearest yard in combined trip is 111 yards.
