If the circulation for newspaper 1 is 382 thousand more than the circulation for newspaper 2 and their combined is 2502 thousand find the circulation for each paper

If the circulation for newspaper 1 is 382 thousand more than the circulation for newspaper 2 and their combined is 2502 thousand find the circulation for each paper

Let x be the circulation for newspaper 2.

Then the circulation for newspaper 1 is thousand

We are given the combined circulation of newspaper 1 and newspaper 2 is 2502 thousand

Therefore, the circulation of newspaper 2 is 1060 thousand and circulation of newspaper 1 is 1060 + 382 = 1442 thousand

Since it takes her 2 1/2 miles to get to the aquarium from her hotel, you need to subtract the various distances from  this value in order to find how long it took Clara to walk the rest of the way to the aquarium. 

2 1/2 - (1/4+1 3/4)= 2 1/2 - 2= 1/2

Clara must walk 1/2 a mile to get the rest of the way to the aquarium.
