Jorge is playing football. he carries the ball forward 5 2/3 yards and then moves backward 1 foot. how far forward is the ball, in feet, from where jorge started carrying the ball?

14 feet because 15 feet is 5 yards take one foot away, then it'll be 4 yards since its 4 2/3

Lets convert yards to feet. There are 3 feet in a yard.
5 2/3 x 3 = 17 feet

Jorge carried the ball 17 ft forward, then 1 ft backwards
17-1=16

The ball is 16 ft in front of where it started
(Also the same as 15 1/3 yards)

When rates are expressed as a quantity of 1, such as 2 feet per second or 5 miles per hour, they are called unit rates. if you have a multiple-unit rate such as 120 students for every 3 buses, and want to find the single-unit rate, write a ratio equal to the multiple-unit rate with 1 as the second term.
