Question

In a long jump event, Dhanu has the longest jump of 3 metres 40 cm. Gurjeet is second. His jump is 20 cm less than Dhanu’s. Gopi comes third. His jump is only 5 cm less than Gurjeet’s jump. How long are Gurjeet’s and Gopi’s jumps?

Answer 1

Gurjeet’s jumps = Dhanu’s jump – 20 cm
= 3 m 40 cm – 20 cm
= 3 m 20 cm
= 300 cm + 20 cm = 320 cm

Therefore, Gurjeet’s jump is 3 m 20 cm or 320 cm

Gopi’s jump = Gurjeet’s jumps – 5 cm
= 3 m 20 cm – 5 cm
= 3 m 15 cm
= 300 cm + 15 cm = 315 cm
Therefore, Gopi’s jump is 3 m 15 cm or 315 cm
