Question

Ken jumps 1 1/5 metres steve jumps 1.5 metres steve jumps further than ken how much further does steve jump than Ken?

Answer 1

Answer:0.3 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Ken can Jump $1\ \frac{1}{5}\ m$

Steve can Jump $1.5\ m$

Converting mixed fraction into a fraction

$\Rightarrow 1\ \dfrac{1}{5}=\dfrac{1\times 5+1}{5}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{6}{5}\ m=1.2\ m$

The difference between their Jumps is

$\Rightarrow 1.5-1.2=0.3\ m$

Steve Jumps 0.3 m more than ken
