F = 2.25 + 0.20(m-1)

F = 6.05

6.05 = 2.25 + 0.20(m-1)

Subtract 2.25 on both sides

6.05 - 2.25 = 0.20(m-1)

3.8 = 0.2(m-1)

Divide both sides by 0.2

3.8/0.2 = m - 1

19 = m - 1

Add 1 on both sides

19 + 1 = m

m = 20
 
If Juan's taxi fare was $6.05, then Juan traveled 20 miles in the taxi.

In this problem, it is just a simple case of substitution and solving for the m which is the number of miles. Take the equation F = 2.25 + 0.20 (m-1). According to the given, the fare, or the F is 6.05 so with that, we can already solve the equation. this will be 6.05 = 2.25 + 0.20 (m-1). After that, all we have to do is just solve for the m. If we would solve for the m, we will end up with a final answer of 20. So all in all, the taxi was able to travel 20 miles on the 6.05 fare of Juan

How many 1/ 4-inch cubes does it take to fill a box with width 2 1/ 4 inches, length 2 1/ 2 inches, and height 1 3/ 4 inches?
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

630.

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Given the following data;</u>

Dimensions for cube = ¼ inches

Volume \; of \; cube = \frac {1}{4} * \frac {1}{4} * \frac {1}{4}

Volume = 1/64 cubic inches.

For rectangular box;

Length = 2½ = 5/2 inches.

Width = 2¼ = 9/4 inches.

Height = 1¾ = 7/4 inches.

Volume \; of \; cube = \frac {5}{2} * \frac {9}{4} * \frac {7}{4}  

Volume = 315/32 inches

Therefore, to find the amount of cubes;

Number \; of \; cubes = \frac {Volume \; of \; box}{Volume \; of \; cube}

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Number \; of \; cubes = \frac {\frac {315}{32}} {\frac {1}{64}}

Number \; of \; cubes = \frac {315}{32} * 64

Number \; of \; cubes = 315 * 2

Number of cubes = 630

The pentagon's area is the sum of the 5 triangles that comprise it.  This is

5( \frac{1}{2}bh) \times 2=5(9)(6.2)= 279

where the factor of 2 accounts for the top and bottom.  The walls have an area of 5 rectangles

5(bh)=5(9)(6)=270 \\  \\ 279+270=549km^2
