Question

Jose jumped 8 1/3 feet. This was 2 2/3 feet farther than Lila jumped. How far did Lila jump?

Answer 1

Answer: Length of Lila's jump is given by

$3\frac{4}{3}\ feet$

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of jose's jump is given by

$8\frac{1}{3}=\frac{25}{3}\ feet$

According to question,

josh jumped $2\frac{2}{3}\ feet=\frac{8}{3}\ feet$ farther than lila

So, length of lila's jump is given by

$\frac{25}{3}-\frac{8}{3}\\\\=\frac{25-8}{3}\\\\=\frac{13}{3}\ feet=3\frac{4}{3}\ feet$

Hence, Length of Lila's jump is given by

$3\frac{4}{3}\ feet$

Answer 2

Lila jumped 5 feet 
8 1/3 - 2 2/3= 5 feet
