Question

Type a short response to the questions below (a minimum of three paragraphs. You and your three friends have decided to go to Mackinaw City for a long weekend (3 days). The four of you are staying at your parent’s summer cottage for free. As part of your preparations, you want to know how far you will have to drive, so you can estimate how long it will take, and how much you will all have to spend on gas for the trip. We will use Flint as our starting point. Use dimensional analysis and show all work for full credit.

1. How much in additional monies (discretionary expenditures) would you budget for your trip and what might you spend them on?

2. In making the trip to Mackinaw City, the four of you are going to be using your car. In dividing up the cost of gas, for the round trip, explain your rationale as how the costs could be shared between the four of you. What would you discuss with your three friends?
