Question

Mr. Smith goes to the gym 3 times a week, how many times does he go in a year?

 

Is the answer 3(52.18) = 156.54

Answer 1

365 days/yr x 1 week/7 days = 52.143 weeks/yr

this is your set up: 3(52.18) = 156.54

 

You should use 52.143, but otherwise, you set up is correct.

 

Answer 2

Multiply the number of weeks in a year by 3.  Round off the answer, because he cannot go for a fraction of a visit.
