When Mr. Webster works at home, he drives to the post office once a day, which is 2.3 miles from his house. Which piece of information is not important in figuring out how many miles Mr. Webster drives per week to his office?

Answer 1

Answer:

Total distance Mr. Webester drives per week to his office is 182 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of days per week he goes to office = 4

The distance to Mr. Webesters office from home = 23.7 miles.

The distance to Mr. Webesters home from office = 21.8 miles.

Total distance drove per day = The distance to Mr. Webesters office from home + The distance to Mr. Webesters home from office

Total distance drove per day = 23.7 + 21.8 = 45.5 miles

Total distance Mr. Webester drives per week to his office = Number of days per week he goes to office x Total distance drove per day

Total distance Mr. Webester drives per week to his office = 4 x 45.5

Total distance Mr. Webester drives per week to his office = 182 miles

Total distance Mr. Webester drives per week to his office is 182 miles.
