You are asked "how much farther did Sullen jump than Nate". So you need to identify the words "how much farther" is actually asking you to find the difference between two distances. When we are looking for differences, we need to use the operation of subtraction.
Also, from the order of words "Sullen jump than Nate", we know that Sullen jumped farther than Nate and therefore, we need to subtract the distance Nate jumped from the distance Sullen jumped.
So the correct answer to this question is
12.75 feet - 10.25 feet = 2.5 feet
