There is less gravity on the planet Trang then on earth. In fact, you could jump about 2 2/3 times as high on Trang as planet earth. Have you jump for 1/4 feet on earth, how high can you jump on Trang?

1/4 times 2 2/3 = 2/3

Change from a mixed number to improper fraction: 1/4 times 8/3

Multiply across so 1x8/4x3 to get 8/12

Simplify to 2/3
