Answer: It needs 2.4 hours to complete the trip.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Length of Oregon trail = 2.197 miles
Speed at which it travel = 20 miles per day
we need to find the time taken by it ,
As we know that
So,
it will be changed into hours
so, it needs 2.4 hours to complete the trip.
Let the smaller number be x.
Given, the larger number is 7 times the smaller number.
So, the larger number = 7x.
Given, 3 times the larger number is 7 more than 4 times the smaller number.
So we can write the equation as,
Now we have to move 4x to the left side by subtracting 4x from both sides.
To get x, we will divide both sides by 17. We will get,
So the smaller number =
The larger number = =
So we have got the required numbers.
Smaller number = and larger number =
