Question

Robert says his better long jump was about 1 foot farther than mays better long jump is he correct

Answer 1

Answer:

He is correct!

Explanation:

What you forgot to add to the question:

Mays jumps : 4 2/3 and 4 3/4

Robert jumps : 6 1/12 and 5 2/3

May:

- 4 2/3 = 12+2/3 = 14/3 = 4.667 ft

- 4 3/4 = 16+3/4 = 19/4 = 4.75 ft

Her best jump = 4.75

Robert:

- 6 1/2 = 72+1/12 = 73/12 = 6.08 ft

- 5 2/3 = 15+2/3 = 17/3 = 5.66 ft

His best jump = 6.08 ft

6.08- 4.75 = 1.33 ft --> about 1 (if you round it!)
