Question

Charlie the Caterpillar is slowly moving toward a piece of food. He travels 7 centimeters every hour. After 6 hours, he still has 34 centimeters left to travel. How far was Charlie the Caterpillar from the piece of food at first?

Answer 1

7*6 + 34 = ____ cm

Answer 2

Since Charlie is going 7 centimeters an hour and we know he has been going for 6 hours we can multiply 7 and 6 to get 42 and then we add 34 to 42, and there you have it

But please just move the food closer the poor guy shouldn't have to spend almost 10 hours getting food

Have a great day!
