Question

You hit a golf ball 90 yards. It travels three-fourths of the distance to the hole. Which equation can you use to find the distance d (in yards) from the tee to the hole?

Answer 1

If the golf ball traveled 3/4 of the distance to the hole, then the remaining distance is 1/4 of the total distance. Let d be the total distance from the tee to the hole, then we can use the following equation:

1/4 d = 90

To solve for d, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 4:

d = 360

Therefore, the distance from the tee to the hole is 360 yards.
