\bf \cfrac{4\frac{1}{2}}{\quad \frac{2}{3}\quad }\implies \cfrac{\frac{4\cdot 2+1}{2}}{\quad \frac{2}{3}\quad }\implies \cfrac{\frac{9}{2}}{\quad \frac{2}{3}\quad }\implies \cfrac{9}{2}\cdot \cfrac{3}{2}\implies \cfrac{27}{4}\implies 6\frac{3}{4}
\\\\\\
\textit{so, 6 whole pieces, and }\frac{3}{4}\textit{ of another one}

now, what's the leftover?  well, 3/4 of the last one, namely 3/4 of 2/3, what is 3/4 of 2/3 anyway?  well, is just their product,

\bf \cfrac{\underline{3}}{4}\cdot \cfrac{2}{\underline{3}}\implies \cfrac{2}{4}\implies \stackrel{lbs}{\cfrac{1}{2}}

Darya [45]

Answer:

718\ min

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> the number of minutes

y ----> the total charge in dollars

we know that

For x>700 min

y=0.45x+40

so

For y=48.10

substitute

48.10=0.45x+40

Multiply by 100 both sides

4,810=45x+4,000 ----> equation without decimals

solve for x

45x=4,810-4,000\\45x=810\\x=18\ min

To find out the total minutes we need to sum

18\ min+700\ min=718\ min
