Answer 2

223.56 meters

Explanation:

To find the total distance travelled by Maiko, we just need to multiply his speed by the total time travelled, that is, we use the following formula:

D = V * t

Where D is the distance, V is the speed and t is the time.

So, if V = 27.6 m/s and t = 8.1 s, we have that:

D = 27.6 * 8.1 = 223.56 meters

So the total distance jumped is 223.56 meters.
