Answer:

Joe drives about 148 miles each month between his house and school

Explanation:

First of all, we can start by calculating the total number of days in a week that Joe goes to school.

We know that in a standard month, we have about 4 weeks.

Joe goes to school 4 days a week.

Therefore, in a month Joe goes to school for 4 X 4 days = 16 days

The next thing to do is to calculate the total distance travelled by Joe is he travels 9.25 miles each day between his house and the school.

This will be 16 X 9.25 = 148 miles

Joe drives about 148 miles each month between his house and school
