DUE SEPTEMBER 19



The greatest distance that a baseball has been thrown is 445 feet, 10 inches. Is this greater or less than the length of a football field from goal line to goal line? By how much? Tell how you made your decision.

HINT: A football field is 100 yards from goal line to goal line.

If you agree with someone's answer you must use 3 sentences explaining why you support their answer.  IF you disagree come up with your own solution!

  1. A Football Field Is 100 Yards Goal To Goal 100 Yards= 300 Ft. The baseball was thrown 445 ft and 10in. There for he threw the baseball farther then the length of the football field goal to goal. 445.10-300=145.10ft. I subtracted the length of the football field goal to goal which is 300 ft from the length of the football field goal to goal.

    1. I agree because if you just convert yards into feet, then it'll be 300 feet. Then subtract 300 from 445.10, which is 145.10 feet. So the answer is that the baseball was thrown greater than the length of the football field by 145.10 feet.

    2. I also agree Nguyet and also Harmoni. When the yards are converted to feet it is 300ft after this - 300 from 445.10 this is 145.10. With these calculations the baseball was thrown 145.10 mor than a football field

    3. I agree because like everyone says if u subtract 300 from 445.10 you will get 145.10. When I did all the calculation it gave me the same answer. So that's mean that it's more than a football flies.

    4. I agree too because when you convert 100 yards to feet you get 300 feet. Then you subtract 300 from 445.10 feet and you get 145.10 feet. This means the baseball was thrown 145.10 feet more than the length of the football field.

    5. I agree because when you convert 100 yards to feet you get 300 feet from 445.10 you would get 145.10 so the ball

    6. i agree for you have to turn yards into feet ( 1 yard =3 feet so 100 x 3) which would make 300 feet. then you subtract 300 from 445.10 (445.10 - 300) which equals 145.10. Making the distance the ball traveled greater than the field.

    7. I agree with the previous comments. once converted the 100 yrds then equals about 300. Since the ball was thrown 445ft and 10in It was thrown farther. Then the football field.

    8. I agree. when you take the length of the throw and change it to yards 100 yards is 300 feet. the ball was thrown 445ft and 10in so it was thrown farther by 145ft 10in.

  2. The first thing that you have to do is to convert 100 yards into feet which is 300 feet. Then you would subtract 300 from 445.10 which is 145.10.So the answer is the baseball throw is greater in length than the football field by 145.10ft.

    1. I Also Agree With You Because If You Make 100 Yards Into Feet Youll Get 300 Feet. And After You Subtact 300-445.10 You answer will be 145.10. So I Also Agree That The baseball Thrown Is greater Than The football field By 145.10 ft.

    3. 100 yards = 300ft. 445.833333333-300 after you subtract it will equal 145.833333333. which the baseball thrown is 145.833333333ft greater than a football feild
      ...the mistake a few people made was 145.10 which is wrong. .10 is not 10 inches. .833333333ft = 10 inches. Thus being the answer of 145.833333333ft.

    4. I agree with you because if you take 100 yards you would get 300feet.I agree that the baseball was threw farther than the field by 145.10ft.This is why I agree.

    5. I agree with your answer because what i did was make 100 yards into feet and i got 300 feet and so did you.Then you subtract 445.10-30 which is 145.10. So the answer should be that the baseball throw is greater in length than the football field. This is why i agree.

  3. I'm agreeing with Nikola because it said a football field was 100 yards which is 300 feet. Next you would have to subtract 445.10-300 and you would get 145.10 feet. So the baseball would be thrown greater than a football field by 145.10 feet.

  4. Good Job guys. If you do not have a different answer you can just reflect on something we did in class this week!

  5. Today we looked at 1.7. What we learned was independent and dependent variables. Input and output tables and how to read them. Learning what the words domain and range mean in that situation.

  6. In algebra today we looked at 1.8. we learned how to graph function tables on graphing paper. In order to graph them we had to pair them. For example the input is 2 and the output is 4 it would be graphed like 2,4 on the graphing paper.

  7. My agreement is based on the answer 145.10ft. On Monday in algebra, we worked on section 1.6, using precise measurements. An example as to what we did;
    248.48 has four significant digits,
    4000 has only one significant digit, and
    4.800 has four significant digits.

    1. I also agree on the answer 145.10ft.
      On Monday, we worked on chapter 1.6.
      We learned about significant digits and precision. Precision is how precise a measurement. An example of this:
      40cm. or 16in.
      40cm. is the correct answer because it is a smaller unit of measure and smaller units are more precise then bigger units.

    2. i agree with the answer.a few days ago we learned about significant digits. For example in the number 4,000 4 is the sd because it is the only non zero number.

    3. Very good additions Aubrey and Vang!

  8. I know that a football field is 100 yds long from goal line to goal line. I also know that there are 3ft in a yard so I did 100 x 3 =300ft in a football field. So 300ft is less than 445ft 10in.

    1. Good Job Bailey. Hope you are feeling ok! Make sure you answer the full question!

  9. Well you have to know that there 3ft in 1 yard so than you do
    100 x 3 that equal 300 than you do 300 subtract from 445 yard 10ft
    and you get 145 yard and 10ft. So the throw was 145yard and 10ft loner than an football field.

  10. Step 1: 100x3=300
    Step 2: 445-300=145
    The throw was 48 yards and 10 ins. longer than a football feild.
