The length of a red bus is four times the length of an orange car. The length of the orange car is also 3.5 times shorter than the length of a yellow bus. If the yellow bus and red bus are sitting next to each other, what length of the red bus may the yellow bus driver see if the red bus is 48 feet long? Let's answer step by step:
If the red bus is 48 feet long, the orange car is 48 / 4 = 12 feet long. Since the length of the orange car is 3.5 times shorter than a yellow bus, the yellow bus is 3.5 * 12 = 42 feet long. If sitting next to each other, the driver of the yellow car will see 48 - 42 = 6 feet of the red bus. The answer: 6.
