Question

Micah run the 200 yards hurdles with the track team the last hurdle is placed exactly 34 feet from the finish line how far will Micah run from the starting line to the last hurdle

Answer 1

566 feet or 188 2/3 yards

Explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet, so we have the following equivalences:

200 yd = 600 ft

34 ft = 11 1/3 yd

Then the distance 200 yd - 34 ft can be written in feet or yards as ...

600 ft -34 ft = 566 ft

200 yd -11 1/3 yd = 188 2/3 yd

Micah had to run 566 feet or 188 2/3 yards to reach the last hurdle.
