Heather counted 46 birds during her long walk to work. On her way home, she saw 22 more birds than that! How many birds did Heather see in all?

Question

birds

Answer 1

To find out how many birds Heather saw in all, we first determine how many birds she saw on her way home. She saw 22 more birds than the 46 she saw on her way to work.

Let's calculate the number of birds she saw on her way home:

\[ 46 \text{ (birds on the way to work)} + 22 \text{ (additional birds)} = 68 \text{ (birds on the way home)} \]

Now, we add the birds she saw on the way to work and the birds she saw on the way home:

\[ 46 \text{ (birds to work)} + 68 \text{ (birds home)} = 114 \text{ (total birds)} \]

Thus, Heather saw a total of 114 birds.
