Question

An ant moves forward 18 1⁄2 inches in one hour. It turns around and crawls

Answer 1

Answer:

The ant moved 10.75 in after three hours

Step-by-step explanation:

18.5-13.5=5+5.75=10.75

46/8=5.75

Answer 2

Answer: 10.75 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information:

First hour = + 18 1/2 (forward)

Second hour = - 13.5 (backward)

Third hour = + 46/8 (forward)

Given expression deducted from the questions

Total Distance = First hour + Second hour + Third hour

Substitute values into the expression

Total Distance = 18 1/2 + (-13.5) + 46/8

Convert to decimals

Total Distance = 18.5 - 13.5 + 5.75

Simplify by subtraction/addition

Total Distance = 5 + 5.75

Total Distance = $\boxed{10.75\:inches\\}$

Hope this helps!! :)
