Jon drives a total of 47 miles each day to take his children to and from school. The children go to school 5 days a week. Jon's vehicle gets 21 miles per gallon of gas. About how many gallons of gas does Jon need to take his children to and from school each week?

The correct answer is that Jon needs approximately 11.19 gallons of gas to take his children to and from school each week.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this problem, we first need to figure out how many miles Jon drives per week.  To do this, we need to multiply the number of miles Jon drives per day (47 miles) by the number of days Jon drives per week (5).

47 * 5 = 235

This means that Jon drives 235 miles per week.  Now, to figure out how many gallons of gas Jon uses, we need to divide the number of miles Jon drives (235) by the number of miles per gallon Jon's vehicle gets (21).

235/21 = 11.19

Therefore, the answer is that Jon needs about 11 gallons of gas to take his children to and from school each week.

Hope this helps!
