Josh works 5 days a week at an amusement park in the summer. He travels 21 ½ miles each way to work. His car gets 24 miles to the gallon, and the average price of gas where he lives is $1.52 per gallon. Explain in words how Josh can find out how much he spends per week for gasoline to get to and from work. Assume Josh only works 5 days a week.//

First, Josh has to take 21 //½// and multiply it by 2 and Josh should get the answer of 43 miles per day. Second, Josh should multiply 43 by 5, and Josh should get the answer of 2/5 miles. Third, Josh should divide 215 by 24 and he should get the answer of 9 gallons of gas. Finally, Josh should multiply $ 1.52 by 9, and he should get the final answer of, $ 13.68.

So he spent $ 13.68 on gas, driving to and from work.
