Nick recorded the distance each cricket jumped. Distance for cricket A: 1 3/4 feet and Distance B: 3 2/4 feet Nick claims that cricket B jumped 2 1/4 feet farther than cricket A because the difference between the whole numbers is 2 and the difference between the numerator is 1.

What is the correct difference, in feet, between the distance cricket A jumped and the distance cricket B jumped.
