The Miller's house is 25 yards from Mrs. Shapiro's house. How many feet apart are the two houses?
Answer: The Miller's house is 75 feet from Mrs. Shapiro's house.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the Miller's house is 25 yards from Mrs. Shapiro's house.
We know that \(\text{one yard = 3 feet}\)
Now, \(\text{ 25 yards}=25\times3\text{ feet}\)
\(\\\\\Rightarrow\text{25 yards}=75\text{ feet}\)
Hence, both the houses are 75 feet apart.
Therefore, the Miller's house is 75 feet from Mrs. Shapiro's house.
