At track practice sheila worked on her longer her first jump was measured by 3 yards 2 feet 8 inches per second was measured by 2 yards 1 foot 10 inches how much longer will she was first jump then her second jump express your answer in inches

what was the total length of sheila's two jumps express your answer in feet

as of the 2012 summer olympics the world record for women's long jump was 24 feet 8 inches how much longer was the world record then sheila's first jump express you answer in yards

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.
