Did you answer this way?
Each shovel load weighs 5 pounds.
Each shovel load digs the tunnel 3 inches deeper.
Take Mole’s Challenge! If you dig 60 shovels of dirt, how deep will Mole’s tunnel be? Try to answer in both inches and feet.

180 inches. (60 shovels X 3 inches = 180 inches.)
15 feet. (180 inches ÷ 12 inches = 15 feet.) We divide by 12 inches because 1 foot = 12 inches.
This is how much dirt one mole can move in one hour!
