Dylan drives 12 miles to work each day and the same amount to get home. If Dylan works five days each week, how many miles does he drive traveling to and from work each week?

Answer :

Sure! Let's go through the steps to solve this problem:

1. Miles Driven Each Day:
- Dylan drives 12 miles to work each day. After work, he drives the same distance back home.
- So, each day Dylan drives a total of [tex]\(12 \text{ miles to work} + 12 \text{ miles back home} = 24\)[/tex] miles.

2. Work Days in a Week:
- Dylan works 5 days each week.

3. Total Miles Driven Each Week:
- Since Dylan drives 24 miles each day and works 5 days a week, we multiply the daily miles by the number of workdays:
- [tex]\(24 \text{ miles per day} \times 5 \text{ days per week} = 120\)[/tex] miles.

Therefore, Dylan drives 120 miles each week traveling to and from work.
