Question

Fred's frog jumped 7 times as far as Al's frog. The two fogs jumped a total of 56 inches. How far did Fred's frog jump?

Answer 1

Fred's frog . . . 7 times
Al's frog . . . . . 1 time

Total for both frogs  =      8 times  =  56 inches

Divide each side by  8 :  1 time    =  7 inches

Fred's frog . . . 7 times = (7 x 7) = 49 inches

My frog . . . 1 time = 7 inches
