Question

Braden jumped 9 5 16 feet in the long jump. Jordan jumped 8 7 8 feet. How much farther did Braden jump than Jordan?

Answer 1

Braden jump
`(7)/(16)` feet higher than Jordan.

Explanation:

distance between jumps: Branden's jump - Jordan's jump

Here Braden's jump is
`9 (5)/(16)` and Jordan's jump is
`8 (7)/(8)`

Distance between jump's:

`9 (5)/(16)` -
`8 (7)/(8)`

`(149)/(16) - (71)/(8)`

`(149)/(16) - (142)/(16)`

`(149-142)/(16)`

`(7)/(16)`

Braden jump
`(7)/(16)` feet higher than Jordan.
