Answer: Lonnie’s Jump

Step-by-step explanation:

         (They just had to give three names that all started with L.)

         Since Lenny's jump is ⅔ times the length of Lainey’s, we can tell that Lenny's jump won't be the longest because it is already smaller than Lainey's.

         Since Lenny is now out of the picture, let us look at Lonnie and Lainey. Lonnie’s jump is 1 ⅓ times the length of Lainey’s. Since Lonnie's jump is longer than Laniey's, Lonnie's jump is the longest jump.
