Answer:
287 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
The base fee was $17.99 and an additional 76 cents ($0.76) for every mile.
We can represent the amount he will pay for rent with the equation below:
C = 17.99 + 0.76m
where m = number of miles driven
Jim paid $236.11, therefore:
236.11 = 17.99 + 0.76m
0.76m = 236.11 - 17.99
0.76m =218.12
m = 218.12 / 0.76 = 287 miles
Jim drove 287 miles.
22.9 is the closest but not exact. It was probably rounded off.
I used the formula: leg^2+leg^2=hypotenuse^2
(You can use that formula for any right triangle.)
The length is 2.4
1.2 times 2 to take away the both width sides
minutes 2.4 from 7.2 you get 4.8 then divide by two because it’s a rectangle it has to length side and you get 2.4
