Answer 1

To find out how many inches the ant travels, we need to calculate the perimeter of the rectangular sheet of paper.

The formula to find the perimeter of a rectangle is P = 2*(length + width).

Given:
Length of the rectangular sheet of paper = 358 inches
Width of the rectangular sheet of paper = 278 inches

Substituting these values into the formula:
P = 2*(358 + 278)
P = 2*(636)
P = 1272 inches

Therefore, the ant travels 1272 inches.
