Question

Stephanie first jump at track competition was 9 1/3. On her second try she jumped 1 1/6 feet farther than her first jump. What equationsis used to determine the distance Stephanie jumped on her second try

Answer 1

9 1/3 + 1 1/6

Explanation:

9 1/3 + 1 1/6 Since she jumped 1 1/6 ft farther she added 1 1/6 ft.

Answer 2

1 1/6 + 9 1/3.

Explanation:

The second jump is 1 1/6 of a foot farther than her first jump, so add 1 1/6 to 9 1/3.

The equation would be 1 1/6 + 9 1/3.

If you wanted improper fractions, they would be 7/6 + 28/3. (converting to improper fraction you multiply the whole number by the denominator and add the numerator and put that over the denominator).
