Kim threw the discus 9.54 m. If the record for her school is 15.23 m, how much farther did she need to throw the discus to tie the school record?

This is a subtraction problem.

15.23 m - 9.54 m = 5.69 m

Answer: 5.69 m

Kim needs to throw the discus 5.69 m farther. I found this out by subtracting Kim's distance from the school record. Hope this helps. :)

15.23 m - 9.54 m = 5.69 m
