Question

The quarterback for a football team threw the football 12 and 4/5 yards for each of three passes. How many yards did he throw altogether?

Answer 1

Hello there,

In order to solve this you are going to add 12 and 4/5 yards three times.

First we change 12 and 4/5 into an improper number:

• 64/5 is the mixed number for 12 and 4/5  

Now we take 64/5 and add it three times or simply multiply by 3:

• 192/5 is what you get when you add it three times

Now we change 192/5 into a mixed number:

• 38 and 2/5

The quarterback threw in all 38 and 2/5 yards altogether.

Hope I helped,

Answer 2

Answer:

38.4 or 38 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

He threw 12 4/5 yards for each of his three passes, so you would need to multiply 12 4/5 by 3.

12 4/5 x 3 = 38.4

You can also simplify the decimal into a fraction.

38.4 = 38 4/10 = 38 2/5.
