What is multiplication?

Multiplication is the general procedure in mathematics in which we multiply two or more numbers to each other to find a new multiplied number.

Multiplication gives us a resultant number that will be very big as compared to the number which is going to be multiplied if and only if the number which is going to be multiplied is more than one.

Lets Avi's best jump = A

Micah's best jump = M

Now,

Avi's best long jump is 1 1/6 times as long as Micah's.

So,

A = 1 1/6 M = 7/6 M

And,

Avi's best long jump is 3 1/2 meters.

A = 3 1/2 = 7/2

By substituting,

7/2 = 7/6 M ⇒ M = 3 meter.

Hence "Micah's best long jump will be 3 meters as per the given data".
