Question

A frog jumps $2$m $28$cm and the other frog jumps $48$cm less than the first frog. What distance did the second frog jump?

Answer 1

Calculate the jump of a frog

Given

A frog jumps $2$m $28$cm and the other frog jumps $48$cm less than the first frog

According to the question

$2$m $28$cm $-$ $48$cm

We know that

$1$m $=100$cm

$2$m $=200$cm

$2$m $28$cm $=200+28$

$2$m $28$cm $=228$cm

$\Rightarrow$$2$m $28$cm $-$ $48$cm$=228-48$

$\Rightarrow$$2$m $28$cm $-$ $48$cm $=180$

But $180=100+80$$=$$1$m $80$cm

Hence, the second frog jumps $1$m $80$cm.
