In a junior track and field meet, Jennifer jumped a height of 1.873 meters in the high jump. Samantha jumped a height of 1.807 meters. A. Use <, >, or = to write a number sentence comparing the heights of the girls' jumps. Whose jump was higher? Explain how you know. B. In the boys' long jump, Kevin jumped a distance of (6 × 1) + (9x) + (8 × 100)+(3× 1,000) meters. Leon jumped a distance of 6.093 meters. Kevin said he jumped farther than Leon. Is Kevin correct? Explain why or why not. C. Ben and Michael also participated in the long jump. Michael jumped 334 thousandths of a meter less than Kevin. Ben jumped farther than Michael but not as far as Kevin. Write a decimal to the thousandths that is greater than Michael's distance and less than Kevin's distance. Explain the reasoning you used.
