Three friends recorded the distance from each of their homes to the park using three different units. The distances are shown on the table.

Clark || [tex]1 whole 3/4[/tex] miles
Julio || 2,640 yards
Jim || 17,160 feet

a. Who lives closest to the park? Who lives farthest from the park?

b. Critique Reasoning (lol what does this mean?) Clark says he lives less than half as far from the park as Jim does. Is Clark right? Explain.

A: first you configure yards into feet (1 yard=3ft) so then you multiply 2,640•3 which equals 7,920 (Julio's distance) then you configure miles into feet (1 mile=5280ft) then you divide 5280 by 4 then multiply by 3 (to get 3/4) which is 3,960. So in order from closest to farthest in proximity of their house to the park is
-Clark
-Julio
-Jim

B: It is true because 3,960ft is way less than half of 17, 160ft

Hope this helped! (:
