Now thinking mathematically ...

What do you notice?

What do you wonder?

Main Question: How many days is Moana gone?

Moana travels from her island of Montunui to the island Te Feti to return the island's heart. Then, she travels home to reunite with her family.

Montunui is based on the island of Samoa.

Te Feti is another name for the island of Tahiti.

One Day's excellent sailing (with the wind on your side) is 115.08 miles per day.

Assume any stops Moana makes aren't long enough to change her pace.

What is the TOTAL distance that Moana will travel?
