foolghost14 · Answer

Step-by-step explanation:

we have that

Jill jumped 6 1/3 feet

Jill best friend jumped 6 5/7 feet

To find out how much farther did Jill's best friend jumped, subtract the length that Jill jumped from the length that Jill best friend jumped
but first, convert mixed number to an improper fraction
substitute the values

What equation did u use to find that Jill's best friend jumped 8/21 feet further than Jill

darkknight · Answer

So Jill's best friend jumped 6 5/7 feet, converting to a decimal that is 6.714 feet, which is > 6.5 feet. This means that she beat the school record and the seventh graders earn 50 points.
Hope that helps
