Jake decides to go to the beach for a fun day. It is a 2-hour drive each way. He then spends 2.5 times at long at the beach as his total driving time. How much time does the trip take? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
He drives for a total of 2 * 2 = 4 hours. So he spends 4 * 2.5 = 10 hours at the beach. That means the total trip took 10 + 4 = 14 hours. So, the answer is 14.
