Question

Malcolm ran the 440-yard dash and the 220-yard dash at a track meet there are 3 feet in one yard how many total feet did Malcolm run estimate first then check for reasonable

Answer 1

1980 feet because 440+220=660 and 660 times 3 is 1980

Answer 2

1980 feet

Explanation:

Given,

The Distance Malcolm in first time = 440 yards,

In second time = 220 yards,

So, the total distance he/she ran = 440 yards + 220 yards

= 660 yards

∵ 1 yard = 3 feet,

`\implies 660\text{ yard}=1980\text{ ft}`

Thus, the total distance he/she ran = 1980 feet
