Dear Ms. Sue,

Question

Should I multiply & if I do will the answer be 6? Will it be shorter for Raul's throw? Now am I correct?

Answer 1

Your original question:

Carlos can throw a ball 14 yards. Raul can throw 3/7 of that distance. Is Raul's throw longer or shorter than 14 yards?

(3/7) * 14 = 42/7 = 6

Yes. Carlos throw is 6 times as far as Raul's throw.
