Question

Hi, I need help with this question.

Roosevelt High School is known for their marching band's attention to detail. Each band member makes sure that every step is exactly 2 feet so that the whole group stays in sync as they march across the football field. For the first part of their performance, every band member starts on the 50-yard line and marches to the 40-yard line. How many steps does each band member take for this part of the performance?

Answer 1

Total marched distance:-

• 50+40=90yards

Convert to feet

1yard=3ft

90yards=90(3)=270ft

No of steps

`\\ \sf\longmapsto (270)/(2)=135steps`

Answer 2

• 135 steps

Explanation:

Each member marches:

• 50 + 40 = 90 yards

Convert this to feet:

• 1 yard = 3 feet
• 90 yards = 3*90 feet = 270 feet

Find the number of steps:

• 270/2 = 135 steps
