Question

manny and emma are both competing in a long jump competition at their school. Manny can jump four fifths of the distance the Emma can jump. Manny can jump 40 inches. How far can Emma jump

Answer 1

Let E be the distance that Emma can jump. Now we can write an equation:

`40=E*(4)/(5)`
Solving the equation to find the value of E, we get:

`E=(40*5)/(4)=50`
So the correct answer is 50 inches.
