Question

Ken jumps 1 1/5 metres and Steve jumps 1.5 metres. How much more does Steve jump?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.3 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we need to turn one of those into a fraction or decimal to make things easier for us. Lets turn $1 \frac{1}{5}$ into a decimal.

1 1/5 as a decimal is 1.2.

Now we compare the two

$1.5 > 1.2$

Now we need to subtract 1.5 by 1.2 to see how much more he jumps by.

$1.5 - 1.2 = 0.3$

Steve jumps more by 0.3 meters.

Answer 2

Answer:

3/10 or .3 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

1 1/5 = 1.2

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.3
