Answer 1

360 minutes

Explanation:

Given that:

Driving down the hill (d) = 12 minutes

Driving up the hill (u) = 24 minutes

Days = Monday - Friday = 5days

For 2 weeks : 2 * 5 = 10

Total time taken to drive up and down daily (T) : (12 + 24) minutes = 36 minutes

For the two weeks :

10(T)

= 10(36)

= 360 minutes

Model:

Let number of days = n

Number of minutes :

n(u + d)
