Full solution

Q. Patty climbs a 4040-foot tower to ride a straight water slide. After landing in the splash pool, she walks 4242 feet back to the base of the tower. How far did she travel in all?\newline____\_\_\_\_ feet
  1. Slide Down Tower: Patty slides down the tower which is 4040 feet high, so she travels 4040 feet downwards.
  2. Walk Back to Base: After landing, she walks 4242 feet back to the base of the tower.
  3. Calculate Total Distance: To find the total distance Patty traveled, add the distance she slid down to the distance she walked back.
  4. Add Distances: Total distance = distance slid down + distance walked back.
  5. Calculate Total: Total distance = 4040 feet + 4242 feet.
  6. Calculate Total: Total distance = 40feet+42feet40\,\text{feet} + 42\,\text{feet}.Total distance = 82feet82\,\text{feet}.
