To find out how many miles Mr. Chen drives during a 5-day work week, we need to calculate the total distance he drives each day and then multiply that by the number of days he works.
1. Mr. Chen drives 26 miles to work and 26 miles back home.
So, the distance he drives in one day is:
\[
26 \text{ miles (to work)} + 26 \text{ miles (back home)} = 52 \text{ miles}
\]
2. Now, we multiply the daily distance by the number of days he works in a week (5 days):
\[
52 \text{ miles/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 260 \text{ miles}
\]
Thus, Mr. Chen drives **260 miles during a 5-day work week**.
The correct answer is **260 miles**.
1. Mr. Chen drives 26 miles to work and 26 miles back home.
So, the distance he drives in one day is:
\[
26 \text{ miles (to work)} + 26 \text{ miles (back home)} = 52 \text{ miles}
\]
2. Now, we multiply the daily distance by the number of days he works in a week (5 days):
\[
52 \text{ miles/day} \times 5 \text{ days} = 260 \text{ miles}
\]
Thus, Mr. Chen drives **260 miles during a 5-day work week**.
The correct answer is **260 miles**.
