Answer 1

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
