Tems11 [23]

Answer:

He should pack 9 loaves of bread for a 12 day hiking trip if he eats the same amount of bread each day.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hint- This can be solved by Unitary method.

Sam used 6 loaves of elf bread on an 8 day hiking trip.

or in an 8 days trip he used 6 loaves of bread,

so in 1 day he would use $\dfrac{6}{8}$ loaves of bread,

so in a trip of 12 days he would use $\dfrac{6}{8}\times 12=9$ loaves of bread.

Therefore, he should pack 9 loaves of bread for a 12 day hiking trip if he eats the same amount of bread each day.

Cousin Hector drove 1,851 miles to the reunion. He lives in Mexico and drove 747 miles through that country to the United States

Sonja [21]

Answer:

1104 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Say he lives in a place in Mexico which is at a distance of a miles from the Mexico-America border point and the reunion is at b miles from the same border point, in America.

So the total distance travelled is ( a + b ) miles

( this is just sum of distance travelled in Mexico + that in America )

Given , a=747 and a+b=1851

that implies:

747 + b = 1851

So, b = 1104 miles.

Therefore he has travelled 1104 miles in America,
