Question

A kangaroo hooped 3,520 yards to the lake with her baby in her pouch. She hopped the remaining 5,280 yard without her baby in her pouch. How many miles did the Kangaroo hop to the lake?

Answer 1

5 miles

Explanation:

since she hopped in yards you must mulitiply both numbers 3520 and 5280 by 3 since there are three feet in a yard. then add together then divide the sum by 5280 since a mile is 5280 feet.

3520 X 3 = 10560

5280 X 3 = 15840

10560 + 15840 = 26400

26400/ 5280 = 5
