Question

stem an arctic tern has the longest migration pattern of any animal. it migrates about five times the combined distance that a pacific loggerhead turtle and hummingbird migrate. write a numerical expression to model the distance that an arctic tern migrates. about how far does an arctic tern migrate?
distances migrated in a year
pacific loggerhead turtle 12,000 kilometers
hummingbird 2,000 kilometers

Explanation:

Step1: Find combined distance of turtle and hummingbird

Add the distances of Pacific logger - head turtle and hummingbird. The distance of Pacific logger - head turtle is 12000 kilometers and of hummingbird is 2000 kilometers. So the combined distance is $12000 + 2000$.

Step2: Find distance of Arctic tern

The Arctic tern migrates about five times the combined distance of the turtle and hummingbird. So the numerical expression for the distance of Arctic tern is $5\times(12000 + 2000)$.
Now, calculate $5\times(12000+2000)=5\times14000 = 70000$ kilometers.

Answer:

The numerical expression is $5\times(12000 + 2000)$ and the Arctic tern migrates 70000 kilometers.
