Question

adam jumped 84cm and he was 120 cm tall sally jumped 82cm and she was 119 cm tall how far were both jumps together

Answer 1

The height of each of the jumpers is IRRELEVANT information that is included as a distractor.

 

Simply add 84cm and 82cm which were the lengths of the two jumps, getting 166 cm. "Both jumps together" tells you to add.
