Question

In 1988, galena christyakova set the women's long jump record of 7. 52 meters. In 1991, mike powell set the men's long jump record of 8. 95 meters. How much farther (ef) would galena have to jump in order to tie mike's record?.

Answer 1

Answer: Galena would have to jump an additional 1.43 meters in order to tie Mike's record.

Explanation: Mike's record = 8.95 meters

Galena's record = 7.52 meters

To tie Mike's record, Galena would have to jump the same distance as Mike, which is 8.95 meters. So we need to find the difference between 8.95 meters and Galena's record of 7.52 meters:

ef = 8.95 meters - 7.52 meters

ef = 1.43 meters
