    10 2/3 ft

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The total length he jumped is the sum of the three jumps

    4 5/6 + 3 1/3 + 2 1/2

    Get a common denominator

    4 5/6 + 3 1/3 * 2/2 + 2 1/2*3/3

    4 5/6 + 3 2/6 + 2 3/6

    Add the whole numbers and the fractions

    4+3+2 + (5+2+3) / 6

    9 + 10/6

    Changing the improper fraction to a whole number and a fraction

    9 + 6/6 + 4/6

    9+1+4/6

    10 4/6

    Simplifying the fraction

    10 2/3
