Answer 2

I'm not really sure I understand the question, but I'm guessing you want the total distance that they threw the javelin.

So, 42 and 5/8 + 39 and 3/5
= 42+39 and 5/8 + 3/5
= 71 and 25/40 + 24/40
= 71 and 49/40
= 71 + 1 and 9/40
= 72 and 9/40

The team threw the javelin 72 and 9/40 ft away.
