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?

Verified Answer :

Let
us assume that Al’s frog jumped X inches.


Fred’s
frog jumped 7X inches.


Total
distance covered by both frogs is 56 inches.


Then

X+7X=56


8X=56
                X=56/8


X=7


Fred’s
frog jumped=7X inches

                                 
                              = 7*7 inches

                                
                              = 49 inches
