Question

Which containers show equal length for the measurements 60ft, 15yd, and 0.25mi?

a) 15yd, 0.25mi, 60ft
b) 0.25mi, 60ft, 15yd
c) 60ft, 0.25mi, 15yd
d) 15yd, 60ft, 0.25mi

Answer 1

The containers that show equal length for the measurements 60ft, 15yd, and 0.25mi are option c) 60ft, 0.25mi, 15yd.

Step-by-step explanation:

The containers that show equal length for the measurements 60ft, 15yd, and 0.25mi are option c) 60ft, 0.25mi, 15yd.

To convert the measurements to a common unit, we need to use conversion factors.

1. 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. So, 15 yards is equal to 15 × 3 = 45 feet.
2. 1 mile is equal to 5280 feet. So, 0.25 miles is equal to 0.25 × 5280 = 1320 feet.
3. Therefore, the measurements are 60ft, 1320ft, and 45ft.

Since 60ft, 1320ft, and 45ft all represent the same length, option c) 60ft, 0.25mi, 15yd shows equal length for the given measurements.
