Question

Jordan travels 3/4 of a mile longer to school each day than harisson does. combined, they have traveled 5 1/4 miles to school. how far does each trave;?

Answer 1

let jordan travel X mile
let harissom travel Y mile
given
X=Y plus 3/4 of y =1.75Y (3/4=0.75)
X+Y = 5.25(1/4=0.25)
now we can just put thevalue of X and we get
X+Y=5.25
1.75Y + Y= 5.25
Y=1.909
x= 1.75 × 1.909= 3.341
