Enrique charges $ 5 for every 1/5 of an hour he walks dogs. In the morning he walks Buttons for 2/5 of an hour, Bruno for 1/5 of an hour and Pepper for 3/5 of an hour, from Monday to Friday. On Saturdays she takes Mimi, Diva and Coco to the dog park for 4/5 hours. On Wednesday of this week it rained and Pepper wanted to stay outside for only 1/5 of an hour. How many hours did Enrique spend with the dogs this week? Explain your method

215 DOLLARS
271/5 = 54.2 hours
How: 2/5 +2/5+3/5 times 5 (bc its 3 different dogs with different times for 5 days) +3 (for 3 dogs) times 4/5 (bc each dog take 4/5 of an hour each) + 1/5 (for the extra 1/5 of an hour pepper wanted to stay outside)
*Important: in the parentheses are the explanation of why I did each addition or multiplication
