QuestionMara's golf ball traveled 492 feet, three times Lori's distance. How far did Lori's ball travel?

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Mara's golf ball traveled492 feet. Mara hit her golf ball three times as far as Lori hit her golf ball

STEP 2

We can represent the distance that Lori's golf ball traveled as a fraction of the distance that Mara's golf ball traveled. Since Mara hit her golf ball three times as far as Lori hit her golf ball, we can represent the distance that Lori's golf ball traveled as one third of the distance that Mara's golf ball traveled.
$Distance_{ori} = \frac{1}{} \times Distance_{Mara}$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given value for the distance that Mara's golf ball traveled to calculate the distance that Lori's golf ball traveled.
$Distance_{ori} = \frac{1}{3} \times492\, feet$

STEP 4

Calculate the distance that Lori's golf ball traveled.
$Distance_{ori} = \frac{1}{3} \times492\, feet =164\, feet$ ori's golf ball traveled164 feet.
