Question

Ken jumps 1 1/5 metres and Steve jumps 1.5 metres. How much more does Steve jump?

Answer 1

3/10 or .3 meters

Explanation:

1 1/5 = 1.2

1.5 - 1.2 = 0.3

Answer 2

Answer: 0.3 meters.

Explanation:

First we need to turn one of those into a fraction or decimal to make things easier for us. Lets turn
`1 (1)/(5)` into a decimal.

1 1/5 as a decimal is 1.2.

Now we compare the two

`1.5 > 1.2`

Now we need to subtract 1.5 by 1.2 to see how much more he jumps by.

`1.5 - 1.2 = 0.3`

Steve jumps more by 0.3 meters.
