James makes a long noodle. He takes some bites of the noodle, each time eating $5$ cm of the noodle from the middle of only one piece. At last, he has $12$ pieces of the noodle with the total length of $24$ cm. How long was the entire noodle in cm at the beginning? (Adapted from 2022 AMC 8 Problem, Question \#11)

There are $12$ pieces of noodle left, so he takes $12-1=11$ bites of the noodle. Thus, the length of the noodle he ate is $11\times5=55$ cm. The total length of the entire noodle was $55+24=79$ cm.
