Question

The driveway in front of the brown house is 35 feet long and the driveway in front of the red house is 7 yards, 9 feet long. Which house has the long driveway and by how much? *

Brown house driveway; larger by 30 feet
Red house driveway; larger by 7 feet
Brown house driveway; larger by 5 feet
They are both equal.

Answer 1

Brown house driveway; larger by 5 feet

Explanation:

Lets convert yds to ft

We know 3 ft = 1yd

3*7 = 21

so 7yds = 21 ft

Add the 9 ft

7yds 9ft = 21+9 = 30 ft

The house with the 35 ft driveway is longer by (35-30) or 5 ft
