Question

Victor can throw a ball 50$\frac{3}{5}$ feet. Parth can throw the same ball 48$\frac{1}{3}$ feet. How much farther can Victor throw the ball than Parth ?

• A. 2$\frac{2}{15}$ feet
• B. 2$\frac{4}{15}$ feet
• C. 2$\frac{3}{5}$ feet
• D. 2$\frac{4}{5}$ feet

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

2$\frac{4}{15}$ feet

Victor can throw a ball $=50\frac{3}{5}$ feet

Parth can throw the same ball $=48\frac{1}{5}$ feet

Difference,

$=50\frac{3}{5}-48\frac{1}{3}$

$=\frac{253}{5}-\frac{145}{3}$

$=\frac{253}{5}-\frac{145}{3}$

$=\frac{34}{15}$

$=2\frac{4}{15}$ feet

Hence, this is the answer.
