During a visit to mexico, jada was thirsty and wanted to buy a drink. it was the middle of the day, yet jada could not find a store that was open. what best explains why jada could not find an open store? businesses in mexico are only open in the morning hours. the stores were closed temporarily in observance of siesta time. jada was attempting to use the u. s. dollar, not the mexican peso. in an attempt to save energy, mexican businesses are only open on certain days of the week.
