Building 2 is closer
Step-by-step explanation:
Distance between gate and building 1 = 24 paces
1 Pace = 2.5 feet
=> 24 Paces = 24 * 2.5 = 60 feet
1 feet = 12 inches
=> 24 Paces = 60 * 12 inches
=> 24 Paces = 720 inches
Distance between gate and building 2 = 78 footspans
1 footspan = 9 inches
=> 78 footspans = 78 * 9 inches
=> 78 footspans = 702 inches
=> 720 inches > 702 inches
=> 24 Paces > 78 footspans
=> 78 foot span < 24 Paces
=> Distance between gate and building 2 is Less
=> Building 2 is closer
