Answer:

105 ft.

Explanation:

5 x 12 = 60

So 5 feet is 60 inches.

60 + 3 = 63

That makes the ridge 63 inches long.

When the lion went up the ridge, it traveled 63 inches.

When the lion went back down the ridge, it traveled another 63 inches, totaling 126 inches.

The lion did this 10 times.

126 x 10 = 1260

Divide 1260 by 12 to find the measurement in feet.

1260 ÷ 12 = 105
