Final answer:
Simon and Travis can both jump 38 inches, which is the same distance, when Simon's jump is converted from 3 feet 2 inches to inches. None of them can jump farther than the other based on the measurements provided.
Step-by-step explanation:
When comparing the distances that Simon and Travis can jump, we first need to convert all measurements to the same unit. Simon can jump a distance that is 2 inches longer than 3 feet. Since there are 12 inches in a foot, 3 feet is equivalent to 36 inches. Therefore, Simon can jump 36 inches + 2 inches, which equals 38 inches.
Travis claims to jump 38 inches, which is the same distance that Simon can jump when converted to inches. Now, let's evaluate the statements given.
- Simon can jump farther than Travis: This statement is not true because they both can jump 38 inches.
- Travis can jump farther than Simon: This is also not true because they both can jump the same distance of 38 inches.
- Simon and Travis can jump the same distance: This statement is true.
- Simon can jump 38 inches: This is true.
- Travis can jump 38 inches: This is true as per the information given.
Therefore, the correct statements are: c. Simon and Travis can jump the same distance, d. Simon can jump 38 inches, and e. Travis can jump 38 inches.
