Question

A kangaroo hopped 1/3 of the distance to the lake with her baby in her pouch. She hopped the remaining 7,040 yards without her baby in her pouch.

How many miles did the kangaroo hop to the lake?
I need help ASAP

Answer 1

$hey \: mate \: thank \: for \: the \: question \: \\ hope \: it \: helps \\ let \: the \: total \: distance \: covered \: be \: x \\ so \: according \: to \: problem \\ \frac{1x}{3} + 7040 = x \\ x + 21120 = 3x \\ 21120 = 3x - x \\ 21120 = 2x \\ \frac{21120}{2} = x \\ 10560 = x \\ so \: total \: distance \: covered \: by \: kangaroo = 10560$
