Answer: No. The grasshopper cannot cover exactly 101 cm in exactly 100 jumps.
Step-by-step explanation:
If the grasshopper makes 50 forward jumps of 19 cm and 50 backward jumps of 17 cm (in any order) the jumps total 950-850 for a net result of 100.
Changing to any other amount just gets farther away from the goal.
A system of equations yields no solution of integers.
x + y ==100
19x - 17y =101
You can try it, but the result has a decimal. This grasshopper cannot make partial jumps!
