Ms. Floop sets a new high jump record with a result of 7 ft 8 1/4 inches. What an effort! Unfortunately, she is disqualified because she was wearing special springy shoes. Too bad. If her record were allowed to stand, how much greater would it have been than the old record of 6 ft 8 3/4 inches?

Three walkers set out on a training walk one week before the actual event. The real event is 20 km long, but today they are only going 10 km. Makayla completed the distance in 43 minutes, Jessica in 40 minutes, and Hailey in 47 minutes. They know from experience that if they double their time for a 10-km walk and then add 2% it gives a reasonable estimate of their time on the 20-km walk. What is the difference in time between the fastest and slowest runner on race day? Round your answer to the nearest minute.
