Corey pulls back on a wind-up car and lets it go. He then measures the distance the wind-up car travels. All of the measurements are between 175 and 186 inches.

Which possible distance, in feet, can the wind-up car travel?

Answer :

The wind-up car can possibly travel between 14.5833 feet and 15.5 feet when the distance is converted from inches to feet.

To find the possible distance that the wind-up car can travel in feet, we need to convert the given measurements in inches to feet. Since there are 12 inches in one foot, you divide each measurement by 12.

If Corey's wind-up car travels between 175 and 186 inches, the distances in feet would be:

  • For 175 inches: 175 inches \/ 12 inches/foot = 14.5833 feet
  • For 186 inches: 186 inches \/ 12 inches/foot = 15.5 feet

Therefore, the possible distance the wind-up car can travel is between 14.5833 feet and 15.5 feet.

By converting the given measurements from inches to feet, the wind-up car can travel a distance between 14.58 feet and 15.5 feet.

Corey pulls back on a wind-up car and lets it go, then measures the distance it travels. All of the measurements are between 175 and 186 inches. To find out which possible distance, in feet, the wind-up car can travel, we must convert the measurements from inches to feet. There are 12 inches in a foot.

To convert inches to feet, you divide the number of inches by 12. So for the lower limit, 175 inches divided by 12 inches per foot equals approximately 14.58 feet. For the upper limit, 186 inches divided by 12 inches per foot equals approximately 15.5 feet. Therefore, the wind-up car can travel a distance between 14.58 feet and 15.5 feet.
