Question

If three falcons with the same wingspan are rescued by the group and the total wingspan is now 34 7/8 feet what is the wingspan of each new falcon show your work

Answer 1

`11(5)/(8)` feet

Explanation:

Since each falcon has the same wingspan and the total is
`34(7)/(8)` feet, we need to divide this by 3 to get wingspan of each new falcon.

Below is the fraction division shown:

`(34(7)/(8))/(3)\\=((279)/(8))/(3)\\=(279)/(8)*(1)/(3)\\=(279)/(24)\\=(93)/(8)\\=11(5)/(8)`

Thus, each new falcon's wing span is
`11(5)/(8)` feet
