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?

A. 168
B. 120
C. 84

Answer :

First, note that Dylan drives [tex]$12$[/tex] miles to work and [tex]$12$[/tex] miles to get home each day. Therefore, the total distance he drives each day is

[tex]$$12 + 12 = 24 \text{ miles.}$$[/tex]

Since he works [tex]$5$[/tex] days each week, the total distance he drives in one week is

[tex]$$24 \times 5 = 120 \text{ miles.}$$[/tex]

Thus, Dylan drives [tex]$120$[/tex] miles each week traveling to and from work.
