Answer:
1. Correct
2. [tex]15\frac{4}{5}[/tex] feet
3. [tex]9\frac{27}{40}[/tex] feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
18. Using the table, Robert's better long jump was [tex]5\frac{2}{3}[/tex] feet. and May's better long jump was [tex]4\frac{2}{3}[/tex] feet.
Therefore, Robert's better long jump was ([tex]5\frac{2}{3} - 4\frac{2}{3}[/tex]) = 1 foot farther than May's better long jump.
19. If the school record for the softball throw is 78 feet, then Robert has to throw [tex](78 - 62\frac{1}{5}) = 78' - 62' 2.4" = 15'9.6" = 15\frac{4}{5}[/tex] feet farther to match the record.
20. May's softball throw is [tex](71\frac{7}{8} - 62\frac{1}{5})' = 71' 10.5" - 62' 2.4" = 9' 8.1" = 9\frac{27}{40}'[/tex] farther than Robert's throw. (Answer)
