Question

a flag pole is 30 feet tall a bug crawls 14 feet up the pole then it crawls another4 feet up the pole how much firther must the bug crawl to get to the top

Answer 1

Answer:

12 more feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Reason why is because if you add 14 and 4 you get 18 then you add 18 with 12 and you get 30. (hope this helps)

Answer 2

Well, with 30 being the total amount, first subtract how much the bug had crawled up the first and second time!
30 - 14= 16

So now, what is left is 16, but since it climbs more, subtract again:
16 - 4 = 12ft

The answer is 12ft to go!

Another way you can do this is add the distances the bug crawled up!
14 + 4= 18
30 - 18= 12

Either way works!
Answer: 12ft
Hope this helped you out!
