Question

They each walk 500 units to school who walks 500 feet and who walks 500 yards

Answer 1

One person walks 500 yards, while the other covers approximately 167 yards, equivalent to 500 feet. The distances vary due to the conversion factor of 3 feet per yard.

To determine who walks 500 feet and who walks 500 yards, we need to understand the units of measurement involved.

1. Feet:

- There are 3 feet in 1 yard.

- Therefore, 500 feet is equivalent to
`\( (500)/(3) \)` yards.

2. Yards:

- 500 yards is, well, 500 yards.

So, if they each walk 500 units:

- One person walks
`\( (500)/(3) \)` yards.

- The other person walks 500 yards.

To convert these measurements into the same unit:

-
`\( (500)/(3) \)` yards is approximately 166.67 yards.

- 500 yards remains the same.

Therefore, one person walks approximately 166.67 yards, and the other person walks 500 yards.
