Rita has the longest jump of 3 m 40 cm. Tanu is second. Her jump is 20 cm less than Rita's. Rihanna comes third. Her jump is only 5 cm less than Tanu's jump. By how many centimetres Rihana could not secure the first rank? Correct Answer 25cm
Given:
Rita's longest jump = 3 m 40 cm
Formula used:
1 m = 100 cm
Calculation:
Rita's longest jump = 3 m 40 cm = (3 × 100) + 40 = 340 cm
Tanu's jump is 20 cm less than Rita's.
Then, Tanu's jump = 340 - 20 = 320 cm
Rihana's jump is only 5 cm less than Tanu's jump.
Rihana's jump = 320 - 5 = 315 cm
Difference between Rita's jump and Rihana's jump = 340 - 315 = 25 cm
∴ Rihana could not secure the first rank for 25 cm.
