Question:

How much gas money will you spend on gas each week?

This is properly a simple multiplication problem that however has to pay attention to the units carefully.

Let's find out how many gallons we need to drive over 150 miles.

Units of miles crossed out.

Therefore, we need 6 gallons to drive over 150 miles.

And now let's calculate how much gas money will be spent each week.

Units of gallon crossed out.

Hence, we will spend $18 on gas each week.

If it's already straightforward in understanding, then we can arrange multiplication operations at once.

150 and 25 can be divided by 25.

Once again, we will spend $18 on gas each week.
