(01.01 LC)A dancer took forward and backward steps of equal length during a dance. After taking 16 steps total, she was back at
her starting position. How many steps did the dancer take in the forward and backward directions?
2 answers:
Note that the steps in total are 16. She takes the same amount of steps forward and backward, and so divide 16 by 2
16/2 = 8
She takes 8 steps forward, and 8 steps backward.
hope this helps
Since the steps are the same size, and she ended up where she started, she must have taken the same number of steps forward as she took backward.
16/2 = 8
She took 8 steps forward and 8 steps backward.
