Alright, lets get started.

Jessica can swim a lap in
29(2)/(5) seconds

Converting it into decimals,
29+(2)/(5)

Means
29+0.4 = 29.4 seconds

Means Jessica can swim a lap in 29.4 seconds

Marta can swim a lap in 28.7 seconds.

So, Martha is faster than Jessica by
29.4-28.7=0.7 seconds

It means Marta is 0.7 seconds faster than Jessica. : Answer

Hope it will help :)
