38. 15 Start by converting the qualifying distance of 68.58 meters into yards. Set up a proportion:

    =    .  Cross-multiply  to  get 0.9144x =   68.58.  Divide  both    sides

by  0.9144  to  find    that    the qualifying  distance    is  75  yards.  If  his current best    is  60  yards,  he

needs   to  throw   75  –   60  =   15  more    yards.
