Fred's frog jumped 7 times as far as al's frog. the two fogs jumped a total of 56 inches. how far did fred's frog jump?

Let us assume that Al’s frog jumped X inches.
Fred’s frog jumped 7X inches.
Total distance covered by both frogs is 56 inches.
Then X+7X=56
              8X=56
                X=56/8
                X=7
Fred’s frog jumped=7X inches                                  
                              = 7*7 inches                                 
                              = 49 inches
