Question

Jasmine jumped from a diving board 10.5 feet off the ground into a pool. She touched the bottom of the pool which was 8.2 feet deep. What is the difference between Jasmine’s highest and lowest points?

Answer 1

To find the difference between Jasmine's highest and lowest points, you can simply subtract the depth of the pool from the height of the diving board.

Height of the diving board = 10.5 feet

Depth of the pool = 8.2 feet

Now, subtract the depth of the pool from the height of the diving board:

10.5 feet - 8.2 feet = 2.3 feet

So, the difference between Jasmine's highest and lowest points is 2.3 feet.
