Mark is a lawyer who works at the county courthouse every day. It takes him 5 minutes to find parking and 3 minutes to walk into the courthouse. 2 days of the week it takes him 30 minutes to get through the metal detector and the other 3 days are less crowded so he gets through in 10 minutes. How long does he spend on all these activities in a week with 5 work days? Give me reasons, before answering the question

First find how long Mark spends on parking and walking each day: 5 minutes + 3 minutes = 8 minutes. Then multiply that number by his number of workdays to find the total walking and parking time: 8 minutes / day * 5 days / week = 40 minutes / week. Then multiply the number of long - wait days by the time of each long wait: 2 days / week * 30 minutes / day = 60 minutes / week. Then multiply the number of short - wait days by the time of each short wait: 3 days / week * 10 minutes / day = 30 minutes / week. Then add the length of time Mark spends on each activity to find the total time spent: 30 minutes / week + 60 minutes / week + 40 minutes / week = 130 minutes / week. So the final answer is 130.
