Question

A lion paced up and down the ridge 10 times. The ridge is 5 ft. 3 in. long. How far did the lion travel? (12 in.=1 ft.)​

Answer 1

Answer:

105 ft.

Step-by-step explanation:

5 x 12 = 60

So 5 feet is 60 inches.

60 + 3 = 63

That makes the ridge 63 inches long.

When the lion went up the ridge, it traveled 63 inches.

When the lion went back down the ridge, it traveled another 63 inches, totaling 126 inches.

The lion did this 10 times.

126 x 10 = 1260

Divide 1260 by 12 to find the measurement in feet.

1260 ÷ 12 = 105
