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
