Answer 1

Answer:

Juke's jump; by 0.35 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Cooper's jump rope is for $4\dfrac{2}{5}$ feet.

Juke's jump rope is $4\dfrac{3}{4}$ feet.

Cooper's jump is :

$4\dfrac{2}{5}=\dfrac{22}{5}\ \text{feet}\\\\=4.4\ \text{feet}$

Juke's jump is

$4\dfrac{3}{4}=\dfrac{19}{4}\\\\=4.75\ \text{feet}$

So, it is clear that Juke's jump is longer than Cooper's jump.

Juke's jump - Cooper's jump = 4.75 - 4.4

= 0.35 feet

or

So, Juke's jump is 375 feet longer.
