At noon three students, Abby, Ben, and Cassie, are standing so that Abby is 100 m west of Ben and Cassie is 160 m east of Ben. While Ben stays in his initial position, Abby begins walking south at a constant rate of 20 m min and Cassie begins walking north at a constant rate of 41 m min . In how many minutes will the distance between Cassie and Ben be the twice the distance between Abby and Ben?

Equation is:

Length in yards is 16 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'L' represent length in feet and 'y' in yards.

Given:

Length of the waterslide is,

Length in feet is three time its length in yards. Therefore,

Length in feet = 3 Length in yards.

∴

Dividing both sides by 3, we get:

Now, plug in 48 for 'L' and solve for 'y'. This gives,

Therefore, the length of the waterslide of length 48 feet in yards is 16 yards.
