jake jumped 3 feet. Marco jumped 5 feet. Peter jumped 4 feet. How much farther did Jake and Peter than MArco? Explain how you found your answer.
Jake and Peter did not jump farther than Marco.
Please clarify your question.
Well you did not explain how much farther did peter and jake jump than Marco also you did not explain how you found your answer
To find out how much farther Jake and Peter jumped compared to Marco, we need to subtract Marco's jump distance from each of their jump distances and then compare the results.
First, let's find out how much farther Jake jumped than Marco. Since Jake jumped 3 feet and Marco jumped 5 feet, we subtract 5 from 3:
Jake's jump distance - Marco's jump distance = 3 - 5 = -2 feet
Jake jumped 2 feet less than Marco.
Next, let's find out how much farther Peter jumped than Marco. Since Peter jumped 4 feet and Marco jumped 5 feet, we subtract 5 from 4:
Peter's jump distance - Marco's jump distance = 4 - 5 = -1 foot
Peter jumped 1 foot less than Marco.
Since the values obtained from subtracting Marco's jump distance from Jake and Peter's jump distances are negative, it means that both Jake and Peter jumped shorter distances than Marco. Therefore, we cannot compare how much farther they jumped.
To find out how much farther Jake and Peter jumped combined compared to Marco, we need to calculate the total distance jumped by Jake and Peter, and then subtract Marco's jump distance from it.
First, let's calculate the total distance Jake and Peter jumped combined. Jake jumped 3 feet, and Peter jumped 4 feet. So, the total distance they jumped together is 3 + 4 = 7 feet.
Next, we need to subtract Marco's jump distance from this total distance. Marco jumped 5 feet. So, the calculation would be 7 - 5 = 2 feet.
Therefore, Jake and Peter jumped a total of 2 feet farther than Marco.
Note: The answer was found by adding the individual jump distances of Jake and Peter together, and then subtracting Marco's jump distance from that total.
