Answer:0.3 m

Explanation:

Given

Ken can Jump
$1\ (1)/(5)\ m$

Steve can Jump
$1.5\ m$

Converting mixed fraction into a fraction

$\Rightarrow 1\ (1)/(5)=(1* 5+1)/(5)\\\\\Rightarrow (6)/(5)\ m=1.2\ m$

The difference between their Jumps is

$\Rightarrow 1.5-1.2=0.3\ m$

Steve Jumps 0.3 m more than ken
