Reasoning and answer: First find the distance between soccer practice and home by multiplying the distance between soccer practice and school by 2: 12 miles * 2 = 24 miles. Then find the total distance Carla drives by adding the length of each trip: 24 miles + 12 miles + 6 miles + 8 miles = 50 miles. Then find how many gallons of gas she needs by dividing the distance of the trip by her car's gas mileage: 50 miles / 25 mpg = 2 gallons. Then multiple the gallons of gas by the price per gallon to find the total cost: 2 gallons * $2.50 = $5.
The answer: 5
