My Maths Strategy

1. The world record for throwing a cellphone in 2012 was 102.68 metres. James attempted to beat the record but only managed to throw 97.89m. How much was he short by?

Answer: 4.79
Strategy: 102.68 - 4.79 = 97.89
102.68 - 2.68 = 100.00
100.00 - 2 = 98
98 - .11 = 97.89
2.68 + 2 + .11 = 4.79
