Final answer:
The grasshopper traveled approximately 0.56 yards per hop, which is option (a), after dividing 5 yards of total distance by 9 hops.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out how many yards the grasshopper traveled on each hop, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the number of hops. In this case, the grasshopper covered a distance of 5 yards in 9 equal hops. So, we divide 5 yards by 9 hops:
5 yards ÷ 9 hops = 0.555555555... yards
Rounding to the nearest hundredth, we get 0.56 yards. Therefore, the grasshopper traveled approximately 0.56 yards on each hop.
To find out how many yards the grasshopper traveled on each hop, we need to take the total distance traveled and divide it equally by the number of hops. The grasshopper covered 5 yards in 9 equal hops. Therefore, we perform the following calculation:
Total distance (in yards) ÷ Number of hops = Distance per hop (in yards)
5 yards ÷ 9 hops = 0.5555... yards per hop
When rounded to the nearest hundredth, the distance per hop is approximately 0.56 yards. This corresponds to option (a).
