Answer:
46 inches
19.5 feet
4.31 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
The best way to find the answers to the question is to first convert the total of all the values in yards, feet, and inches.
1 yard = 3 feet
1 foot = 12 inches
Now let's take the first jump and convert it into inches.
3 yards, 2 feet, 8 inches
3 yards x 3 = 9 feet
2 feet + 9 feet = 11 feet
11 feet = 132 inches
Total inches = 132 + 8
Total Inches = 140
Now that we have the total number of inches, we can find for the value in feet and in yards.
Feet = 140in / 12
Feet = 11.67
Yards = 140 in / 36
Yards = 3.89
Now let's do this for the second jump.
2 yards, 1 foot, 10 inches
2 yard x 3 = 6 feet
1 foot + 6 feet = 7 feet
7 feet x 12 = 84 inches
84 inches + 10 inches = 94 inches
Now let's solve for the feet and yards again.
Feet = 94in/12
Feet = 7.83
Yards = 94 / 36
Yards = 2.61
Now for the last part let's solve for the world record. Now since we're only looking for yards, let's find the value in yards.
24 feet, 8 inches
Yards = 24 feet / 3
Yards = 8
Yards = 8inch / 36
Yards = 0.2
Total Yards for World Record = 8.2 yards
Now we can start solving.
First jump = 140 inches
Second jump = 94 inches
Total in inches = 140 - 94
Total in inches = 46
So the first jump was 46 inches further than the second jump
Total length of both jumps = 11.67 + 7.83
Total length of both jumps = 19.5
The total length of both jumps in feet is 19.5.
Now for the world record compared to the first jump.
Total length = 8.2 - 3.89
Total length = 4.31 yards
The world record was 4.31 yards longer than Sheila's first jump.
