In 1988, Galena Christyakova set the woman’s long jump record of 7.52 meters. In 1991, Mike Powell set the men’s long jump record of 8.95 meters. How much farther (EF) would Galena have to jump in order to tie Mikes record? A.8.95 meters

B.1.43 meters

C.1.19 meters

D.16.47 meters

E.0.84 meters

Option (B)

Explanation:

From the picture attached,

Galena set the record in women's long jump DE = 7.52 meters

Similarly, in men's long jump Powell set the record DF = 8.95 meters

Therefore, Galena has to jump more distance to meet the record of Powell.

Distance EF needed more by Galena,

EF = DF - DE

EF = 8.95 - 7.92

EF = 1.43 meters

Therefore, Galena has to jump 1.43 meters more to tie Powell's record.

Option (B) will be the answer.
