Question

On field day, Breanna long jumped 62 inches, Myquisha jumped 5 feet 4 inches, and Ariana jumped 1 yard, 2 feet, 7 inches. Which list shows the girls in order from shortest to longest jump?

Answer 1

Let’s convert all their jumps into inches.

Breanna’s is already in inches (62)

Myquisha jumped 5 feet 4 inches
There are 12 inches in a foot, so

5 feet * 12 inches= 60 inches

Then add the 4 inches
60+4= 64
So Myquisha jumped 64 inches.


Ariana jumped 1 yard, 2 feet, 7 inches

1 yard is equal to 3 feet.

So, she jumped 5 feet 7 inches

12 inches in a foot, so
5*12=60 inches

Add the 7
60+7= 67 inches

So Breanna jumped 62, Myquisha 64 and Ariana 67

In order of shortest to longest:

Breanna, Myquisha, Ariana

Answer 2

Answer:

Breanna, Myquisha, then Ariana

Step-by-step explanation:

Breanna- 62 inches

Myquisha-5 feet 4 inches=64 inches

Ariana-1 yard, 2 feet, 7 inches=5 feet 7 inches=67 inches

Ariana had the longest jump because she jumped more inches.

Breanna had the shortest jump because she jumped the least amount of inches.

Myquisha was in the middle because she didn't jump short or long.
