Listen to the investigation. Use the results to answer the questions.

A Wooden Pear on the Harvest Table

At harvest time, Aria and Eli test a wooden pear on a smooth table. The pear starts at the same line each time. A gentle push toward the red sign moves it 2 spaces. A strong push toward the red sign moves it 5 spaces. A gentle pull toward the green sign moves it 3 spaces. A strong pull toward the green sign moves it 6 spaces.

For a direction check, Aria uses a strong push toward the red sign. The pear moves toward red. She starts again and uses the same kind of push toward the green sign. The pear moves toward green.

Which test moved the pear the farthest?
