Arthur must jump an additional 8.25 inches so as to break the record.

1 foot =  12 inches

Long jump record = 22 ft 6 3/4in = 22 ft 6.75 in = (22ft * 12 in per ft) + 6.75 in

Long jump record = 270.75 in

Arthur's long jump record = 21 ft 10 1/2in = 21 ft 10.5 in = (21ft * 12 in per ft) + 10.5 in

Arthur's long jump record = 262.5 ft.

To break the record, the distance needed to be jump by Arthur = 270.75 in - 262.5 ft. = 8.25 in

Arthur must jump an additional 8.25 inches so as to break the record.
