Enrique charges $5 for every 1/5 hour he spends walking dogs. In the morning he walks Buttons for 2/5 hour, Bruno for 1/5 hour, and Pepper for 3/5 hour, Monday through Friday. On Saturdays he takes Mimi, Diva, and Coco to the dog park for 4/5 of an hour. On Wednesday this week it rained and Pepper wanted to stay out for only 1/5 hour. How many hours did Enrique spend with the dogs this week? Explain your method.
To find out how many hours Enrique spent with the dogs this week, we need to add up the durations of each dog walk.
First, let's calculate the total duration of the dog walks from Monday to Friday:
- For Buttons, he walks for 2/5 hour each day, which is a total of 2/5 * 5 = 2 hours.
- Bruno is walked for 1/5 hour each day, so the total duration for Bruno is 1/5 * 5 = 1 hour.
- Pepper is walked for 3/5 hour each day, resulting in a total of 3/5 * 5 = 3 hours.
Now let's calculate the total duration of the dog park visit on Saturday:
- Mimi, Diva, and Coco are taken to the dog park for 4/5 hour, so the total duration is 4/5 * 1 = 4/5 hour.
On Wednesday, Pepper only wanted to stay out for 1/5 hour.
To find the total duration, we add up the durations from each day:
2 hours (Buttons) + 1 hour (Bruno) + 3 hours (Pepper) + 4/5 hour (Mimi, Diva, Coco) + 1/5 hour (Pepper on Wednesday)
Now, let's add the durations:
2 + 1 + 3 + 4/5 + 1/5 = 6 + 1 = 7 hours
Therefore, Enrique spent a total of 7 hours with the dogs this week.
