Option A: 7/16 of a foot is the right answer

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Length of Braden's Jump = [tex]9\frac{5}{16} = \frac{149}{16}[/tex] feet

Length of Jordan's Jump = [tex]8\frac{7}{8} = \frac{71}{8}[/tex]

In order to find how much farther Braden jumped than Jordan

[tex]=\frac{149}{16} - \frac{71}{8}\\=\frac{149-142}{16}\\=\frac{7}{16}[/tex]

Braden jumped 7/16 feet farther than Jordan

Hence,

Option A: 7/16 of a foot is the right answer
