A leaf is being blown down a sidewalk by swirling gusts of wind. For every five feet that a gust blows it forward, the wind swirls and blows it back two feet. How many feet has it traveled down the sidewalk after 11 gusts of wind?
How many feet does the leaf travel forward? ** Each gust blows the leaf forward 5 feet, so 11 gusts will blow it forward 5 * 11 = <<5*11=55>>55 feet.
How many feet does the leaf travel back? ** Each swirl after a gust blows it back 2 feet, so 11 swirls will blow it back 2 * 11 = <<11*2=22>>22 feet.
How many feet has the leaf traveled down the sidewalk after 11 gusts of wind? ** After 11 gusts, the leaf has traveled 55 - 22 = <<55-22=33>>33 feet down the sidewalk.
