At adventure camp, Emek and Luna needed firewood before dinner at 6 o'clock. They measured from camp to two wood piles using equal steps. The hill pile was 58 steps away, and the lake pile was 43 steps away. The clock showed 5:30. Emek noticed that 43 was less than 58, so the lake pile was closer. Luna checked their choice, and they collected the wood and returned before 6 o'clock.

Hint
A closer place takes fewer equal steps to reach.
Luna checks Emek's choice of the lake pile. Which fact shows that the lake pile is closer to camp?
58 is less than 43.43 is less than 58.43 is the same as 58.58 and 43 are both greater than 60.Correct! 43 is less than 58, so the lake pile is closer.
Try again. Compare the 43-step distance with the 58-step distance.

Hint
Find the difference between 58 and 43.
The hill pile was 58 steps from camp, and the lake pile was 43 steps from camp. How many steps farther away was the hill pile?
Correct! The hill pile was 15 steps farther away.
Try again. Find how many more steps 58 is than 43.

Hint
Think about how many minutes are in the half hour from 5:30 to 6:00.
Emek says, "The clock shows 5:30, so we have 30 minutes until dinner at 6:00." How can Luna check that he is correct?
Count 15 minutes from 5:30 to 6:00.Count 20 minutes from 5:30 to 6:00.Count 30 minutes from 5:30 to 6:00.Count 60 minutes from 5:30 to 6:00.Correct! From 5:30 to 6:00 is 30 minutes.
Try again. Check the time from half past 5 until 6:00.
