Answer 2

Answer:

The cost per kilometer was $2.25

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct question is

Emanuel was charged $32 for a 14 2/9 km

What was the cost per kilometer?

To find out the cost per kilometer (unit rate) divide the total cost by the total kilometers

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

$14\frac{2}{9}\ km=\frac{14*9+2}{9}=\frac{128}{9}\ km$

Find the unit rate

$\frac{32}{\frac{128}{9}}=\frac{32*9}{128}=\ 2.25\ per\ kilometer$

therefore

The cost per kilometer was $2.25
