ASK A QUESTION
A kangaroo hopped 1/3 of the distance to the lake with her baby in her pouch. She hopped the remaining 7040 yards without her baby in her pouch.
To find the total distance the kangaroo hopped to the lake, we need to add the distance she hopped with her baby in her pouch and the distance she hopped without her baby in her pouch.
Let's start by finding the distance she hopped with her baby in her pouch. We are given that she hopped 1/3 of the total distance to the lake. So, let's represent the total distance to the lake as "D". Therefore, the distance she hopped with her baby in her pouch can be calculated as (1/3) * D.
Next, we know that the remaining distance to the lake, which she hopped without her baby in her pouch, is 7040 yards.
To find the total distance the kangaroo hopped to the lake, we need to add the two distances together: (1/3) * D + 7040 yards.
However, the question asks for the distance in miles, not yards. So we need to convert the total distance to miles. We know that 1 mile is equal to 1760 yards. Therefore, we can convert the total distance to miles by dividing it by 1760: [(1/3) * D + 7040 yards] / 1760 miles.
So, the total distance the kangaroo hopped to the lake in miles is [(1/3) * D + 7040] / 1760.
