Answer:

$11\frac{5}{8}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Since each falcon has the same wingspan and the total is $34\frac{7}{8}$ feet, we need to divide this by 3 to get wingspan of each new falcon.

Below is the fraction division shown:

$\frac{34\frac{7}{8}}{3}\\=\frac{\frac{279}{8}}{3}\\=\frac{279}{8}*\frac{1}{3}\\=\frac{279}{24}\\=\frac{93}{8}\\=11\frac{5}{8}$

Thus, each new falcon's wing span is $11\frac{5}{8}$ feet
