There are six unicorns in the Enchanted Forest. Everywhere a unicorn steps, four flowers spring into bloom. The six unicorns are going to walk all the way across the forest side-by-side, a journey of 9 kilometers. If each unicorn moves 3 meters forward with each step, how many flowers bloom because of this trip? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
First convert the total length of the journey from kilometers to meters: 9 kilometers * 1000 meters / kilometer = 9000 meters. Then divide this by the length of one step to find the number of steps in the journey: 9000 meters / 3 meters / step = 3000 steps. Then multiply the number of steps by the number of flowers per step to find how many flowers one unicorn creates on the journey: 3000 steps * 4 flowers / step = 12000 flowers. Then multiply the number of flowers per unicorn by the number of unicorns to find the total number of flowers created: 12000 flowers / unicorn * 6 unicorns = 72,000 flowers. So, the answer is 72000.
