Answer:
Charlie threw the ball 936 inches.
Martin threw the ball 30 feet less than Charlie.
Reisha threw the ball 144 inches farther than Martin.
Explanation:
Convert each of the given measurements having yards, feet, and inches for each.
- There are 12 inches in each foot.
- There are 3 feet in each yard.
- There are 36 inches in each yard.
Charlie threw the ball 78 feet, so divide 78 by 3 to find how many yards he threw the ball. Multiply 78 by 12 to find how many inches he threw the ball.
So, Charlie threw the ball 78 feet, 26 yards, or 936 inches.
Martin threw the ball 16 yards, so multiply 16 by 3 to find how many feet he threw the ball. Multiply 16 by 36 to find how many inches he threw the ball.
So, Martin threw the ball 16 yards, 48 feet, or 576 inches.
Reisha threw the ball 720 inches, so divide 720 by 12 to find how many feet she threw the ball. Divide 720 by 36 to find how many inches she threw the ball.
So, Reisha threw the ball 720 inches, 60 feet, or 20 yards.
Charlie threw the ball 78 feet and Martin threw the ball 48 feet, so subtract 78 and 48 to find how much less Martin threw the ball than Charlie.
Reisha threw the ball 720 inches and Martin threw the ball 576 inches, so subtract 720 and 576 to find how much farther Reisha threw the ball than Martin.
The true statements are given below.
- Charlie threw the ball 936 inches.
- Martin threw the ball 30 feet less than Charlie.
- Reisha threw the ball 144 inches farther than Martin.
