the answer to that question is 1 mile
1 2/3 * 7/8...turn the mixed number to an improper fraction
5/3 * 7/8 = 35/24 = 1 11/24
Let

be the number of rides Chandler takes in a month. Then the cost with the MetroCard is still $81, but the cost without the MetroCard is

. So we can set up an equation representing what we want: "The cost with a MetroCard of r rides in a month is less than the cost without a MetroCard." In equations,

Thus, at a minimum, Chandler must take 41 rides for his MetroCard to be cheaper than not having it.
It would go to the opposite side
