Andrew walked 24 laps during a walkathon to raise money for his school's art department. Each lap was 1/4 of a mile, and Andrew's dad donated $5.25 for every mile that Andrew walked. How much money did Andrew's dad donate?
Explanation: 1. Multiply the number of laps by the distance of the track to get the number of miles he walked. (24x1/4=6) 2. Multiply the miles by the amount of money his Dad will pay to get the answer. (6x5.25=31.5=$31.50)
