ok divide that number by 2 and you get 1113.5 now subtract 5 and you get1108.5 which is the smaller ship but that diffrence needs to go on the other one, so take 1113.5 and add 5 and that will be your longer ship

That's incorrect

$1.$
let the length of first ship be $a$
let the length of second ship be $b$
$\large\tt \begin{align} \color{black}{a+b=2227\~\~\
a-b=5\~\~\
}\end{align}$

find $a$ and $b$

Add the two equations to get
2 a = 2232\ a =1116

anonymous · Answer

Find b

b=a-5=1116-5=1111
