Question
6.) River C is 200 miles longer than River D. If the sum of their lengths is 5,550 miles,
what is the length of each river?
5,550 divided by 200 is 27.75
Answer:
River C: 2875, River D: 2675
Step-by-step explanation:
Subtract 200 from 5550. Then divide your difference (5350) by 2 to get 2675. Add 200 to one of your 2675s to get river C’s length.
