A kangaroo hopped 3,520 yards to the lake with her baby in her pouch. She hopped the remaining 5,280 yards without her baby in the pouch how many miles did the kangaroo hoo to the lake

This answer is wrong, the right answe is 5. add 3520 plus 5280 to get 8800. divide 8800 by 1760 you get 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

6 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the total distance hoped by Kangaroo to the lake.

We have been given that a kangaroo hopped 1/3 of the distance to the lake with her baby in her pouch.

She hopped the remaining 7040 yards without her baby in her pouch. This means that 2/3 of total distance (x) is 7040. We can represent this information in an equation as:

\frac{2}{3}*x=7040

Let us solve for x by multiplying both sides of our equation by 3/2.

\frac{3}{2}*\frac{2}{3}*x=\frac{3}{2}*7040

x=3*3520

x=10560

Therefore, the total distance hoped by the kangaroo is 10560 yards.

1 mile = 1760 yards

Let us convert this distance in miles by dividing 10560 yards by 1760.

\text{The kangaroo hoped}=\frac{10560\text{ yards}}{\frac{1760\text{ yards}}{\text{Mile}}}

\text{The kangaroo hoped}=\frac{10560\text{ yards}}{1760}\times \frac{\text{ Mile}}{\text{ yards}}

\text{The kangaroo hoped}=\frac{10560}{1760}\times\text{ Mile}

\text{The kangaroo hoped}=6\text{ Miles}

Therefore, the kangaroo hoped 6 miles to the lake.
