Answer 1

To find the total distance the herd of cattle travels, you can multiply the distance traveled each day by the number of days they travel.

Distance traveled per day = 5.5 miles
Number of days = 13 days

Total distance = 5.5 miles/day × 13 days = 71.5 miles

So, the herd travels 71.5 miles.
