A glacier in Alaska moves about 29.7 meters a day.

About how much farther will it move in 1,000 days than it will move in 100 days?

About 26,730 more meters

All you do is multiply 29.7 by 1000 and 100 and subtract it

In 1000 days, the glacier moves 29700 meters; in 100 days, 2970 meters.
Just subtract 2970 meters from 29700 meters to answer this question.
