Question

a tourist drove his car for the total of 17.5 hours while on a 3-day vacation on the first day he drove 4.5 hours in the second day he drove for 2.5 times as many hours as he drove on the first day how many hours did the tourist drive on the third day of his vacation (HELP PLEASE)​

Answer 1

Answer:

1.75 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Time for day 1 : 4.5 hrs

Time for day 2: (4.5 ×2.5)

Time for day 3: let it be denoted by a variable ,say T.

Total Time= 17.5

(Time for day 1 ) + (Time for day 2) +(Time for day 3) =17.5

4.5 + (4.5×2.5) + T = 17.5

4.5+11.25+T =17.5

15.75+T=17.5

T=17.5-15.75

T= 1.75
