Question

Which balloons traveled 11,595 feet farther than Martin? Draw a strip diagram and write a number sentence to solve the problem.

Answer 1

From the table we notice that:

`41507-29912=11595`

This means that Diana traveled 11595 ft more than martin; this also means that Jake and Abby traveled more than that amount farther than Martin's balloon (since their distances are greater that Diana's distance)

Therefore, Abby's Jake's and Diana's balloons traveled 11595 ft farther than Martin's balloons.
