Question

Robert says his better long jump was about 1 foot farther than May's better long up. Is he correct? Explain.

Answer 1

We need mor information to tell what there best long jumps are

Answer 2

So he is wrong

Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one.

Mays jumps : 4 2/3 and 4 3/4

Robert jumps : 6 1/12 and 5 2/3

My answer:

May:

• 4 2/3 =
  `(12+2)/(3) = (14)/(3) = 4.667` feet
• 4 3/4 =
  `(16+3)/(4) = (19)/(4) = 4.75` feet

=> May better jump is: 4.75 feet

Robert:

• 6 1/12 =
  `(72+1)/(12) = (73)/(12) = 6.08` feet
• 5 2/3 =
  `(15+2)/(3) = (17)/(3) = 5.66` feet

=> Robert better jump is: 6.08 feet

The difference between Robert's better long jump and May's better long jump is:

6.08 - 4.75 = 1.33 feet

So he is wrong, it is 1.33 feet not 1 foot
