Question

Priya, variable "p", jumped 3 inches more than Xeno, “x”, in a high jump contest. Mai, “m”, jumped three times as many inches higher than Priya. If Mai jumped 14 inches, how many inches did Xeno reach? (You can use a tape diagram or hanger diagram to help solve this problem). ***EXPLAIN how you found your answer below:

Answer 1

Xeno jumped 1 2/3 in

Explanation:

if Mai jumped 3 times higher than Priya dividing Mai's 14 by 3 would get Priya's height. Then by subtracting 3 from Priya's height, which is 4 2/3, you get Xeno's height which is 1 2/3 in
