Questions 37 and 38 refer to the following information.
Nile is a track & field athlete at North Sherahan High School. He hopes to qualify for the
Olympic Games in his best field event, the javelin throw. He experiments with different
javelin weights to build his arm strength and currently measures the results in feet.37 .The distance at which Nile can throw a javelin is inversely proportional to the weight of
that javelin. Nile can throw a 1.5 pound javelin exactly 260 feet. How far would Nile be
able to throw a two pound javelin, in feet, assuming all other factors remain constant?
(Disregard units when inputting your answer.)38 .During his preparations, Nile realizes that the upcoming Olympic qualifying competition
will be judged in meters, rather than feet or yards. Nile wants to make sure he can throw
the javelin the minimum required distance so he can advance in the competition. If his
current best throw is 60 yards, and one yard is approximately 0.9144 meters, how much
further, to the nearest yard, must he throw in order to achieve the minimum required
distance of 68.58 meters to qualify for the Olympics? (Disregard units when gridding your
answer.)STOP
