The fraction was greater than 1/2.

When you divide by a fraction, it is equal to multiplying by its reciprocal. The reciprocal of 1/2 is 2/1, or just 2. Therefore, dividing by 1/2 equals the same thing as when you multiply by 2.

A mixed number has a whole number and a fraction added together. So, the mixed number must be greater than 1.

1/2 is equal to 0.5, and 0.5 multiplied by 2 equals 1. A fraction less than 1/2 multiplied by 2 would equal a number less than 1, while a fraction greater than 1/2 would equal a number greater than 1.

Because a mixed number must be greater than 1, and a fraction greater than 1/2 multiplied by 2 would be greater than 1, the fraction that resulted in a mixed number after being multiplied by 2 must have been greater than 1/2.

Jacob does the long jump for his track team. On his first jump, he jumped 7
USPshnik [31]

Answer: Jacob's second jump was 6 1/3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

On his first jump, he jumped 7 2/3

feet. We would convert each mixed fraction to improper fraction

to enable easy addition and subtraction. Converting 7 2/3 feet to improper fraction, it becomes 23/3 feet.

His second jump was 1 1/3 feet shorter. Converting 1 1/3 feet to improper fraction, it becomes 4/3 feet.

Therefore, the distance that Jacob covered on his second jump would be

23/3 - 4/3 = 19/3 feet

Converting 19/3 feet back to mixed fraction, it becomes

6 1/3 feet
