The athlete performed a triple jump. The length of the first jump is 342 cm, the second is 39 cm

The athlete performed a triple jump. The length of the first jump is 342 cm, the second is 39 cm less, and the third is 398 cm less than the length of the first and second jumps together. How far did the athlete jump in three jumps?

Find the distance the athlete jumped in the second jump.

We subtract 39 cm from the length of the first jump.

Will be:

342 – 39 = 303 cm.

Find the total length of the first and second jump.

342 + 303 = 645 cm.

Determine the length of the third jump.

We subtract the given difference from the total length of 1 and 2 jumps, namely 398 cm.

645 – 398 = 247 cm.

From this it follows that in just 3 jumps, the athlete jumped on:

645 + 247 = 892 cm.

Answer: In total, the athlete jumped 892 centimeters or 8 meters 92 centimeters.
