_____ inches

Answer 1

To determine the smallest jump improvement for Roxanne based on the given values (1/2, 3/4, and 1), we need to compare these fractions:

1. **Convert to the same denominator**:
- 1/2 = 2/4
- 3/4 = 3/4
- 1 = 4/4

2. **List the improvements**:
- 1/2 = 2/4
- 3/4 = 3/4
- 1 = 4/4

3. **Finding the differences**:
- From 1/2 to 3/4: \(3/4 - 1/2 = 3/4 - 2/4 = 1/4\)
- From 3/4 to 1: \(1 - 3/4 = 4/4 - 3/4 = 1/4\)

4. **Identifying the smallest jump improvement**:
- The improvements calculated are both 1/4 when going between any two points.

Thus, the smallest jump improvement that Roxanne recorded is **1/4 inches**.
