Austin receives $5 for every hour he helps his father build a deck in their backyard. He works for 2 hours on Mondays, an hour on Wednesdays, and 3 hours on Fridays. If Austin wants to buy a bicycle that costs $180, how many weeks does he have to work? | Austin works a total of 2 + 1 + 3 = <<2+1+3=6>>6 hours a week.
Since he is paid $5 per hour of work, he'll earn $5*6 = <<5*6=30>>30 in a week.
To make $180, he'll have to work for $180/$30 = <<180/30=6>>6 weeks
