Question

Amanda works on a farm. It takes her 2.25 hours to drive to town and back. She usually goes to town twice a week to get supplies. How much time does Amanda spend driving if she takes 8 trips to town each month?

Answer 1

just multiply the number of hours she spends driving by the times she drives

2.25 times 8 and you get  18

every month she spends 18 hours driving

Answer 2

If she takes 8 trips a month then in one month she spends 18 hours driving because 2.25 x 8 = 18.00.
