Question

2) Andrew walked 24 laps during a walkathon to raise money for his school's art department. Each lap was 1/5 of a mile, and Andrew's dad donated $5.25 for every mile that Andrew walked. How much money did Andrew's dad donate?

Answer 1

Answer: $25.2

Explanation:

First, let's find out how many miles Andrew walked in total by multiplying the number of laps by the length of each lap:

24 laps * 1/5 mile/lap = 24/5 miles = 4.8 miles

Now, we can find out how much money Andrew's dad donated by multiplying the total miles walked by the donation per mile:

4.8 miles * $5.25/mile = $25.2

Andrew's dad donated $25.2 to the school's art department.
