salvador has the farthest distance.

Answer 2

Salvador’s plane traveled the farthest distance and Jennifer’s plane traveled the shortest distance.

Further explanation:

Given:

A paper airplane contest was held. Marcel’s plane travels 3.345 meters. Salvador’s plane travels 3.35 meters and Jennifer’s plane travels 3.3 meters.

Calculation:

From place value chart 1 tenths is equal to 10 hundredths as shown below:

$\dfrac{1}{{10}}=\dfrac{{10}}{{100}}$

Also from place value chart 10 hundredths is equal to 100 thousandths as shown below:

$\dfrac{{10}}{{100}}=\dfrac{{100}}{{1000}}$

It is given that Marcel’s place travels a distance of 3.345 meters and this can be converted in the form of thousandths as shown below:

$3.345=\dfrac{{3345}}{{1000}}$

So, Marcel’s plane travels 3345 thousandths distance.

It is also given that Salvador’s plane travels a distance of 3.35 meters and this can be converted in the form of thousandths as shown below:  

$3.35=3.350=\dfrac{{3350}}{{1000}}$

So, Salvador’s plane travels 3350 thousandths distance.

It is given that Jennifer’s plane travels a distance of 3.3 meters and this can also be converted in the form of thousandths as shown below:

$3.3=3.300=\dfrac{{3300}}{{1000}}$

So, Jennifer’s plane travels a distance of 3300 thousandths distance.

Therefore, from above calculations we can observe that Salvador’s paper plane traveled the farthest distance and Jennifer’s plane traveled the shortest distance.
