Answer 1

ANSWER

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


`403.2 \: miles`

Step-by-step 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 * 19.2 \: miles`

Change the decimal to fraction and multiply,


`= 21 * (192)/(10) miles`


`= (21 * 192)/(10)`


`= (4032)/(10) miles`

Convert back to decimal


`= 403.2 \: miles`
