manny and emma are both competing in a long jump competition at their school. Manny can jump four fifths of the distance the Emma can jump. Manny can jump 40 inches. How far can Emma jump
Let E be the distance that Emma can jump. Now we can write an equation: [tex]40=E\times\frac{4}{5}[/tex] Solving the equation to find the value of E, we get: [tex]E=\frac{40\times5}{4}=50[/tex] So the correct answer is 50 inches.
