Question

5. Mark breaks up a 9-hour drive into 3 segments. He drives 2 hours before stopping for lunch. After driving some more, he stops for gas. If the second segment of his drive was 1hours longer than the first segment, how long did he drive after stopping for gas?​

Answer 1

ok so first he drives 3 hours

then he drives for the same amount plus a hour so 3+1=4

he drives for 4 more hours

then he stops and drives some more 3+4=7

hes driven 7 hes driving for 9 in to total so his last segment is 2 hours.

2 hours

Hope This Helps!!!
