Question

A very excited dog is happy to greet the mailman AGAIN to get his treat. The dog runs back and forth along the fence: 50 ft to the left, then runs 30 ft to the right, then 70 ft to the left, and 40 ft to the right! The dog exhaustedly lays down for his special delivery! What is the total distance the dog traveled?

Answer 1

To find the total distance the dog traveled, we need to add up the lengths of each segment of his run. The dog ran 50 ft to the left, then 30 ft to the right, then 70 ft to the left, and 40 ft to the right. So, the total distance is: 50+30+70+40=190

The dog traveled 190 feet in total.
