gita...…...…

Answer 2

➤ Given :-

Metres jumped by Radha :- $\tt 8 \dfrac{1}{4}$

Metres jumped by Gita :- $\tt 7 \dfrac{1}{4}$

➤ To Find :-

Who jumped more farther and by how much….

➤ Solution :-

$\tt \longrightarrow8 \dfrac{1}{4} - 7 \dfrac{1}{4}$

Convert the mixed fractions to improper fractions, so that the calculation becomes easy......

$\tt \longrightarrow \dfrac{33}{4} - \dfrac{29}{4} = \dfrac{33 - 29}{4}$

$\tt \longrightarrow \cancel\dfrac{4}{4} = 1$

$\Huge\therefore$Radha jumped ahead of Gita by 1 metre.
