The answer is the difference between the lengths, which is 11 yards (or 33 feet).

To find the answer

It is easier to first express the first distance in feet and eliminate the fraction.

7 1/3 yards x 3 = 22 feet

To find the second distance, multiply by 2 1/2. (22 x 2 1/2 = 55 feet)

Subtract to find the difference 55-22 = 33 feet, which is 33/3 or 11 yards.

To find the answer by multiplying fractions (which is the point of the problem)

The second distance, the distance Carl threw the ball, is 7 1/3 x 2 1/2.

To multiply mixed fractions (like 7 1/3), it's a good idea to convert them to improper fractions first. 7 1/3 = 22/3 and 2 1/2 = 5/2

22/3 x 5/2 = 110/6 = 18 2/6 yards = 18 1/3 yards (55 feet).

Subtracting Devin's distance, 18 1/3 - 7 1/3 = 11 yards (33 feet).

What makes a football fly?

How forceful a player throws the ball: here's the equation:(Force = mass of football x acceleration due to gravity). The football flies because a spin is put on it. This spiral action makes it more aerodynamic and it will travel farther and straighter.


A football player kicks a football and a balloon what will happen?

The football travels a lot farther than the balloon does.


Will a balloon go farther than a football?

It depends on the circumstances. Generally, a football will go farther when thrown due to its aerodynamic shape and weight distribution. A balloon will drift with the wind and may travel far if caught in a strong breeze.


Why will a Nerf football go farther than a pro football?

A Nerf football is designed to be lighter and more aerodynamic than a pro football, allowing it to travel farther when thrown due to reduced air resistance. The soft, foam material also helps absorb impact and allows for better grip and spin, further enhancing its flight performance compared to a heavier, more rigid pro football.


Will a spiralling motion football or a wobilling motion football go farther?

A spiralling motion football will typically travel farther than a wobbling motion football. The spiral helps stabilize the ball's flight, minimizing air resistance and allowing for greater distance and accuracy in the throw.


Why do guns put spin on bullets?

Because of the rifling inside the barrel. If you want to know the purpose of that, the answer is, it causes the bullet to travel farther and more accurately, just like when you throw a football.


How did the building of the railroads affect peoples ability to travel?

People could travel farther and more frequently. Also, rail travel was safer

They travel farther to get to Dallas. Houston is on the eastern side of Texas, closer to Florida.


Would kicking a football on the moon be easier or harder?

It would be easier to kick a football on the moon because there would be no air to hold it back. The football would go farther even if less force is applied.
