Question 1104955
Let the length of the shorter ship = {{{ x }}}
{{{ x + ( x + 7 ) = 2647 }}}
{{{ 2x + 7 = 2647 }}}
{{{ 2x = 2640 }}}
{{{ x = 1320 }}}
and
{{{ x + 7 = 1327 }}}
-------------------
The lengths of the ships are
1320 ft and 1327 ft
------------------------------
Convert {{{ 100 }}} yds to feet
{{{ 100*3 = 300 }}} ft
{{{ 1327/300 = 4.42333  }}} football fields
