Question

Jose jumped 8 1/3 feet. This was 2 2/3 feet farther than Lila jumped. How far did Lila jump?

Answer 1

Lila jumped 5 feet
8 1/3 - 2 2/3= 5 feet

Answer 2

Answer: Length of Lila's jump is given by

`3(4)/(3)\ feet`

Explanation:

Since we have given that

Length of jose's jump is given by

`8(1)/(3)=(25)/(3)\ feet`

According to question,

josh jumped
`2(2)/(3)\ feet=(8)/(3)\ feet` farther than lila

So, length of lila's jump is given by

`(25)/(3)-(8)/(3)\\\\=(25-8)/(3)\\\\=(13)/(3)\ feet=3(4)/(3)\ feet`

Hence, Length of Lila's jump is given by

`3(4)/(3)\ feet`
