Answer:

10 5/8

Step-by-step explanation:

9 3/4 + 7/8 = 9 6/8+7/8=

10 5/8

The distance jumped by Chris in total would be as follows:

[tex]10\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Find the distance

Distance is denoted as the space that one covers from a particular place to the other.

Given that,

The distance jumped by Mark [tex]= 9\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet

The distance jumped by Chris [tex]= \frac{7}{8} + 9\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

So,

The total distance covered by Chris would be:

[tex]= \frac{7}{8} + 9\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]= \frac{7}{8} + \frac{39}{4}[/tex]

[tex]=[/tex] [tex]\frac{(7 + 78)}{8}[/tex]

 [tex]= \frac{85}{8}[/tex]

[tex]=[/tex] [tex]10\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Thus, [tex]10\frac{5}{8}[/tex] is the correct answer.
