For this case we have to:
Susan jumps [tex]1 \frac {2} {3}[/tex] yards, this is equivalent to:
[tex]1+ \frac {2} {3} = \frac {3 * 1 + 2 * 1} {3} = \frac {5} {3}\ yards.[/tex]
If Jody jumps half, then we divide:
[tex]\frac {\frac {5} {3}} {2} = \frac {5} {6}\ yards.[/tex]
Now, to know the inches we need to make a conversion. By definition we know that:
1 yard equals 36 inches. By rule of three we have:
[tex]1 \ yard ----------------------------> 36 \ in\\\frac {5} {6} \ yards -----------> x[/tex]
Where "x" represents the inches that Jody jump:
[tex]x = \frac {\frac {5} {6} * 36} {1}\\x = 30 \ in[/tex]
So, JOdy jumped 30 inches.
Answer:
30 inches
