B) exactly how many hits did the website have during Jan and Feb?

Answer 1

In January, there were 13,759 hits and in February there were 9,854 hits.
During both the months, there were 23,613 hits to the school's website.

Answer 2

Let

x---------> the number of hits in January

y---------> the number of hits in February

we know that

`x=3,905+y` --------> equation
`1`

`y=9,854` --------> equation
`2`

Substitute equation
`2` in equation
`1`

`x=3,905+9,854`

`x=13,759`

Part a) About how many hits did the website have during Jan and Feb?

`x=13,759` ----> Round to nearest ten thousand----->
`x=14,000`

`y=9,854`----> Round to nearest ten thousand----->
`x=10,000`

`x+y=14,000+10,000=24,000`

the answer part a) is
`24,000`

Part b) Exactly how many hits did the website have during Jan and Feb?

`x+y=13,759+9,854=23,613`

the answer part b) is
`23,613`
