Question

Jose and Kaitlyn have a contest to see who can throw a baseball the farthest. Kaitlyn wins, with a throw of 200 ft. If Jose threw the ball 3/4 as far as Kaitlyn, how far did Jose throw the ball?

Answer 1

all you have to do to find the answer is divide 200 by 4 to get 50. so now you know 1/4 of 200 is 50. but jose threw the ball 3/4 as far kaitlyn so you would have to multiply 50 by 3 to get 150 which is 3/4 of 200 . so 150 ft is the answer and how far jose threw the ball.

Answer 2

150 ft

Explanation:

If Kaitlyn throws the ball a distance and Jose threw the ball 3/4 as far as Kaitlyn we can determine the distance Jose threw the ball. We also know that Kaitlyn threw further than Jose so Jose's distance must be less than 200 ft. The distance Jose threw the ball is:

[tex]=200*(3/4)=600/4=150[tex]

Jose threw the ball 150 ft
