Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer : length of night is a hours. Length of day will be a+3/2.
a + ( a + 3/2 ) = 24
= 2a + 3/2 =24
4a = 48 - 3 =45
a = 45 / 4 = length of night
Length of day = 45/4 + 3/2 = 51/4

Answer:
LENGTH OF DAY= 12.75 hours
LENGTH OF NIGHT= 11.25 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Let length of day be= x
length of night be=y
given: x+y=24....(i)
and, y+1.5=x ....(ii)
substituting (ii) in (i),
(y+1.5)+y=24
2y=22.5
y=22.5/2
y=11.25
substituting value of y=11.25 in (ii),
x=11.25+1.5=12.75
THEREFORE
LENGTH OF DAY= 12.75 hours
LENGTH OF NIGHT= 11.25 hours
