Answer:
5 3/4 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that :
Long jump record held = 24 ft 9 1/4 in
Arthur's best long jump record = 24 ft 3 1/2 in
How much further must ARTHUR jump to brake the record :
Long jump record - Arthur's best jump
[24 ft 9 1/4 in] - [24 ft 3 1/2 in]
24 ft - 24 ft = 0
9 1/4 in - 3 1/2 in
37 / 4 in - 7 /2 in
L. C. M of 4 and 2 = 4
(37 - 14) / 4 inches
23 /4 inches
= 5 3/4 inch
