Question

Braden jumped 9 5 16 feet in the long jump. Jordan jumped 8 7 8 feet. How much farther did Braden jump than Jordan?

Answer 1

Answer:

Braden jump $\frac{7}{16}$ feet higher than Jordan.

Step-by-step explanation:

distance between jumps: Branden's jump - Jordan's jump

Here Braden's jump is $9 \frac{5}{16}$ and Jordan's jump is $8 \frac{7}{8}$

Distance between jump's:

$9 \frac{5}{16}$  -  $8 \frac{7}{8}$

$\frac{149}{16} - \frac{71}{8}$

$\frac{149}{16} - \frac{142}{16}$

$\frac{149-142}{16}$

$\frac{7}{16}$

Braden jump $\frac{7}{16}$ feet higher than Jordan.

Answer 2

First you want both of the denominators to be the same.

You can multiply $\frac{7}{8} \times 2$ to get $\frac{14}{16}$

So the two values are $9\frac{5}{16}$and $8\frac{14}{16}$

When you subtract both values you get the answer $\frac{7}{16}$

Answer : $\frac{7}{16}$
