A triple jump consists of hop, step and jump. The length of Keith's step was three-quarters of the length of his hop and the length of his jump was half the length of his step. if the total length of Keith's triple jump was 17 meters , what was the length of his hop , in meters?\r

Let the length of the hop, be H
\n" ); document.write( "Then the length of the step = \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+%283%2F4%29H%2C+or%2C+.75H%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "Length of the jump = \"matrix%281%2C3%2C+%281%2F2%29H%2C+or%2C+.5H%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "As they total 17, we have: H + .75H + .375H = 17
\n" ); document.write( " 2.125H = 17
