Michelle, Laura, and Angel are in the long jump for their track team. Michelle jumped 315 meters and Laura jumped 3310 meters. Angel’s jump was longer than Michelle’s jump but shorter than Laura’s jump. What is one possible length of Angel’s jump measured in meters? a) 320 meters

b) 330 meters
c) 325 meters
d) 328 meters

Answer 1

One possible length of Angel's jump measured in meters could be 328 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Angel's jump was longer than Michelle's jump, but shorter than Laura's jump. Michelle jumped 315 meters and Laura jumped 3310 meters.

Since Angel's jump has to be longer than Michelle's jump, it has to be more than 315 meters. And since Angel's jump is also shorter than Laura's jump, it has to be less than 3310 meters.

One possible length for Angel's jump, therefore, could be 328 meters (between 315 and 3310 meters).
