Travels of the Cat

Carlos's cat travels on the October Board all month. Ms Urciolo wants you to measure his journey.

The October Board is 18 feet wide.

If Carlos's cat traveled from one side to another in a straight line, we would all be amazed.

How many days would it take him to get from one side to the other side if he walked 6 inches per day?

Could he finish his journey in the month of October?

Extra hard: How far would he get by Halloween? (October 31)
