To protect themselves from extreme hot or cold temperatures. American Alligators dig burrows in the mud. Suppose there are 20 alligators , each with 50 feet of burros. What is the total length of all the burrows?

The answer would be 1,000 because if you have 20 alligators and they dig the burrows 50 feet apart you would have to do 50 x 20 to get the answer of 1,000.

Think of it like this 2×5=10 since 50 has 1 zero and 20 does to it would be 1000ft total of alligator burrows
