Jeremy ran 5 yards 2 feet 3 inches. In the same time, John ran 9 yards 1 foot 10 inches. How many inches farther did John run than Jeremy

Jeremy: 5 yards, 2 feet, 3 inches

John: 9 yards, 1 foot, 10 inches

You need to find how many inches Jeremy and John ran. There are 36 inches in a yard, so multiply 5 yards by 36.

(5) (36) = 180 inches

There are 12 inches in a foot, so multiply 2 feet by 12.

(2) (12) = 24 inches

Add 180 and 24 inches to 3 inches.

180 + 24 + 3 = 207 inches

Jeremy ran 207 inches.

Now for John:

Multiply 9 yards by 36 inches.

(9) (36) = 324 inches

1 foot = 12 inches

Add 324 and 12 inches to 10 inches.

324 + 12 + 10 = 346 inches

John ran 346 inches.

Subtract Jeremy's run from John's.

346 - 207 = 139 inches

John ran 139 inches farther than Jeremy.

5 yards 2 feet 3 inches:

1 yard=36 inches; 5 yards=180 inches

1 foot=12 inches; 2 feet=24 inches

180+24+3=207 inches

9 yards 1 foot 10 inches:

9 yards=324 inches

1 foot=12 inches

324+12+10=346 inches

346-207=139 inches

John ran 139 inches fartheer than Jeremy
