I was watching a beautiful butterfly
and wondered how far it could fly on a windy day. Every time the butterfly
flew 3 feet, a gust of wind came along and pushed it backwards 1 foot.
If 6 gusts of wind came along, how
far did the butterfly fly?
For 4th and 5th graders: If it took the butterfly 4 minutes to fly 2 feet, how far can the butterfly travel in 1 hour?
