In the first quarter, owen passed the football 1 4 yards 1 foot 7 inches . on his second pass , he threw 16 yards 2 feet 19 inches .how far did he pass the football altogether ? convert the answer to larger units whenever possible.

31 yards 2 feet 5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

  14 yd  1 ft  7 in

+  16 yd 2 ft 19 in

  30 yd  3 ft  26 in

26 inches is 2 feet and 2 inches ---> 30 yd  5 ft  2 in

5 feet is 1 yard and 2 feet ---> 31 yd  2 ft  2 in

31 yards 2 foot 2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

To know the full distance, we need to sum both distances unit by unit. That means, we sum yards with yards, foot with foot and inches with inches. Then we converted to the larger unit whenever possible, starting from the smaller one.

Total yards: 14 + 16 = 30 yards

Total foot: 1 + 2 = 3 foot

Total inches: 7 + 19 = 26 inches

As 12 inches are 1 feet, 12*2 = 24 inches are 1*2=2 foot. Therefore, as 26 = 12*2 + 2, 26  inches are 2 foot and 2 inches.

Now we have 3 + 2 = 5 foot.

As 3 foot are 1 yard, 5 foot are 1 yard and 2 foot.

Now we have 30 + 1 = 31 yards.

Getting all together, the full distance is 31 yards 2 foot 2 inches
