Nathan is trying out to be the kicker on his high school's football team. he notices that for every hour he practices he can kick the ball 2 yards further. on his first try he kicked the ball 42 feet, on the second try he kicked the ball 16 yards. what could be a possible distance for his third kick? a. 20 feet b. 60 feet c. 54 yards d. 24 yards

This is actually a very easy problem. The only hurdle we have here is the units that are used in this problem. We have to understand that each unit may mean the same length but the values are different. In this case, 1 yard is equal to 3 feet. Meaning 42 feet is equal to 16 yards. So that is 14, 16 and the answer is 18 yards. 18 yards is equal to 54 ft.
