An ant is crawling along a yardstick that is pointed with the O-inch mark to the east and the 36-Inch mark to the west. It starts at the 19-inch mark, crawls to the 27-inch

mark, then moves to the 7-inch mark. What was the total distance the ant traveled?

The movement of the ant is sketched in the attached image. The ant moved from the 19-inch mark to 27-inch mark covering a distance of 13 Inches (27 - 19). Finally, it moved from the 27-inch mark to 7-inch mark covering a distance of 20 Inches (27 - 7).

Total Distance covered = 13 + 20 = 33 Inches.

Hence, the total distance the ant traveled is 33 Inches.
