The blackpoll warbler migrates 2,376 miles, stops, and then flies another 3,289 miles to reach its destination. The arctic tern migrates 11,013 miles, stops, and then flies another 10,997 miles to reach its destination. How much farther is the arctic tern's migration than the blackpoll warbler's migration?

Answer 1

The total migration for the Blackpoll Warbler is 5,665 miles.

The total migration for the Arctic Tern is 22,010.

Therefore the difference between the two is

22,010 - 5,665 = 16,345 miles
