Question

If a horse can jump a fence that is 4 feet tall, can you jump a fence that is 7/6 of a yard (please explain algebraically how to find this) (this is from unit 8 Algebra 1 if that helps)

Answer 1

3.5 feet

Explanation:

To determine whether you can jump a fence that is 7/6 of a yard tall, we need to convert the height to feet and compare it to your own jumping ability.

1 yard = 3 feet

So, 7/6 yards = (7/6) x 3 feet = 3.5 feet

Since a horse can jump a fence that is 4 feet tall and 4 feet is greater than 3.5 feet, it is likely that the horse can jump the fence while it may be more challenging for you to do so.
