Answer 1

ANSWER

The total length of the trip to and from work in August is

$403.2 \: miles$

EXPLANATION

The total length of the trip to and from work is

$19.2 \: miles$

If Jonah worked 21 days in August,

Then, the total length of the trip to and from work is
$= 21 \times 19.2 \: miles$

Change the decimal to fraction and multiply,

$= 21 \times \frac{192}{10} miles$

$= \frac{21 \times 192}{10}$

$= \frac{4032}{10} miles$

Convert back to decimal

$= 403.2 \: miles$
