If 15 swallows flew 380 miles south then had a rest,then flew 800 miles towards the coast. How many miles did each fly? How many miles they flew altogether?

380 + 800 = ?

How do you think you'll find the miles they flew all together?

1180

I think the miles they flew altogether will still be the same 1180

1180 is correct

I don't think you've interpreted the second part correctly. I think the instructions mean that you should multiply 1180 by 15.

To find out how many miles each swallow flew, you can divide the total distance by the number of swallows. In this case, there were 15 swallows.

First, let's calculate how many miles they flew altogether. The first leg of their journey was 380 miles south, and the second leg was 800 miles towards the coast.

To find the total distance, you need to add these two distances together:
380 + 800 = 1180 miles.

Now, to find out how many miles each swallow flew, you can divide the total distance by the number of swallows:
1180 miles รท 15 swallows โ‰ˆ 78.67 miles.

Therefore, each swallow flew approximately 78.67 miles.

Please note that this calculation assumes that all swallows flew the same distance and that the distance was divided equally among them.
