The tornado picked up the Smith's car and transported it 200 feet in the air before dropping it into the neighbors' pool. Also in the pool was a lawn chair that had been blown twice as far as the car had been transported. And the pool also contained a birdhouse that had flown through the air three times farther than the lawn chair had been blown. How far, in feet, far had the birdhouse flown? Give me reasons, before answering the question
The lawn chair was blown twice as far as the car, or 2 * 200 = 400 feet. The birdhouse had flown 3 times farther than the lawn chair had been blown, or 3 * 400 = 1200 feet. So the final answer is 1200.
