The driveway in front of the brown house is 35 feet long and the driveway in front of the red house is 7 yards and 9 feet long. Which house has a longer driveway? By how much?

To compare the driveways, let's convert everything to feet. The red house's driveway is 7 yards and 9 feet. Since 1 yard equals 3 feet, that means 7 yards is 21 feet. Adding the 9 feet gives us 30 feet for the red house's driveway. Now we can see that the brown house has a driveway of 35 feet, while the red house’s driveway is 30 feet. So, the brown house has the longer driveway by 5 feet. To put it simply, if the brown house's driveway were a super long runway, the red house's would just be a short taxiway!
