A recycling truck begins its weekly route at the recycling plant at point A, as pictured on the coordinate plane below. It trave
ls from point A to point B, then points C, D, and E, respectively, before returning to the recycling plant at point A at the end of the day. The truck’s route is illustrated on the coordinate plane below. If each unit on the coordinate plane represents one mile, what is the total distance the truck travels on its route?
A. 41
B. 38
C. 13
D. 5
(The picture of the graph should be there, I apologize if it isn't clear enough. Also, please explain the answer in detail, I want to try to understand it so when I approach a problem like this, I will know what to do)

Answer:
- y=0.8x
- See Explanation for others
Step-by-step explanation:
The 3 cans of beans had a total weight of 2.4 Pounds
Therefore:
- 1 can of beans = (2.4 ÷ 3) =0.8 Pounds
The following applies from the options.
- y=0.8x where y is the weight and x is the number of cans.
- A 2-column table with 3 rows. Column 1 is labeled number of cans with entries 5, 15, 20. Column 2 is labeled total weight (in pounds) with entries 4, 12, 16.
Using y=0.8x
When x=5, y=0.8 X 5=4
When x=15, y=0.8 X 15=12
When x=20, y=0.8 X 20=16
- On a coordinate plane, the x-axis is labeled number of cans and the y-axis is labeled total weight (in pounds. A line goes through points (5, 4) and (15, 12). This can be clearly seen from the table above as (5,4) and (15,12) are points on the line.
