Q. Sidney is deep-sea diving with Aiden, who is to the south of her. A fish emerges from a hole to the east of Aiden. The fish swims 24meters24\,\text{meters} to Aiden and then swims 10meters10\,\text{meters} to Sidney. The fish then swims back to its hole and disappears. How far did the fish travel in all?\newline_____\_\_\_\_\_ meters
  1. Calculate total distance: question_prompt: How far did the fish travel in total?
  2. Calculate round trip distance: The fish swims 2424 meters to Aiden.
  3. Calculate final distance: Then the fish swims 1010 meters to Sidney.
  4. Calculate final distance: Then the fish swims 1010 meters to Sidney. To find the total distance, add the two distances the fish swam.
  5. Calculate final distance: Then the fish swims 1010 meters to Sidney. To find the total distance, add the two distances the fish swam. Total distance = 2424 meters + 1010 meters.
  6. Calculate final distance: Then the fish swims 1010 meters to Sidney. To find the total distance, add the two distances the fish swam. Total distance = 2424 meters + 1010 meters. Total distance = 3434 meters.
  7. Calculate final distance: Then the fish swims 1010 meters to Sidney. To find the total distance, add the two distances the fish swam. Total distance = 2424 meters + 1010 meters. Total distance = 3434 meters. The fish swims back to its hole, which is the same distance it originally swam to Aiden and Sidney.
  8. Calculate final distance: Then the fish swims 1010 meters to Sidney. To find the total distance, add the two distances the fish swam. Total distance = 2424 meters + 1010 meters. Total distance = 3434 meters. The fish swims back to its hole, which is the same distance it originally swam to Aiden and Sidney. Double the distance the fish swam to Aiden and Sidney to get the total round trip.
  9. Calculate final distance: Then the fish swims 1010 meters to Sidney. To find the total distance, add the two distances the fish swam. Total distance = 2424 meters + 1010 meters. Total distance = 3434 meters. The fish swims back to its hole, which is the same distance it originally swam to Aiden and Sidney. Double the distance the fish swam to Aiden and Sidney to get the total round trip. Total round trip distance = 2×342 \times 34 meters.
  10. Calculate final distance: Then the fish swims 1010 meters to Sidney. To find the total distance, add the two distances the fish swam. Total distance = 2424 meters + 1010 meters. Total distance = 3434 meters. The fish swims back to its hole, which is the same distance it originally swam to Aiden and Sidney. Double the distance the fish swam to Aiden and Sidney to get the total round trip. Total round trip distance = 2×342 \times 34 meters. Total round trip distance = 6868 meters.
