Answer:

62.0496 yards separate the first platform from the second platform

Explanation:

We have to make the conversion of both units to yards.

Each feet has 12 inches.

Each inch is 0.0278 yards.

The first platform of the Eiffel Tower is 2,280 inches above the ground.

So

2280*0.0278 = 63.384 yards above the ground.

The second platform is 376 feet above the ground.

So

376*12*0.0278 = 125.4336 yards above the ground

How many yards separate the first platform from the second platform?​

125.4336 - 63.384 = 62.0496

62.0496 yards separate the first platform from the second platform
