53/4•2/6=1 11/12 Because you must turn 5 3/4 into an improper fraction. So 23/4•2/6. Next you are able to cross reduce because 2 goes into 2 and four so now you have 23/2•1/6 now just multiply across. 2•6=12 and 23•1=23 so now you have 23/12 which equals 1 11/12
So since he charges $1.85 for the first quarter mile we can keep that as it is for now. If we add 0.25 4 times to make it $1 that would be a mile. We just have to add $17.25 plus the original $1.85 fee
