Answer:

The smaller ship is 1,164 ft

The larger ship is 1,177 ft

The larger ship is 3.923 football fields

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Find the length of each ship

x + x + 13 = 2,341 ft

2x + 13 = 2,341 ft

2x = 2,328 ft

x = 2,328/2

x = 1,164 ft ( This is the length of the smaller ship)

1,164 + 13 = 1,177 ft (length of the larger ship)

B)If a football field has a length of 100 yards, determine the length of the longer ship in terms of football fields.

1,177/3ft= 392.3 yards

392.3 yards /100 yards = 3.923 football fields
