Question

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?

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

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
