I got the same question and the answer is D) 1.65 billion
Here we must write and solve a linear equation to find the number of miles that Arun traveled in the taxi. We will find that Eva traveled 11 miles.
So we know that the taxi charges a fee of $4.10 and then a plus of $0.50 per mile.
So if you travel for m miles, the cost equation is:
C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m
Now, we know that for Eva the total fare (total cost) was $9.60, then we need to solve:
$9.60 = C(m) = $4.10 + $0.50*m
$9.60 = $4.10 + $0.50*m
$9.60 - $4.10 = $0.50*m
$5.50 = $0.50*m
$5.50/$0.50 = m = 11
This means that Arun traveled 11 miles in the taxi.
Answer:
(c) 5/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The applicable rules of exponents are ...
(a^b)(a^c) = a^(b+c)
(a^b)/(a^c) = a^(b-c)
a^-b = 1/a^b
__
Using these rules, we can simplify the expression as follows:
(5^-3)(2^2)(5^6)/((2^3)(5^2)) = (5^(-3+6-2))(2^(2-3)) = (5^1)(2^-1)
= 5/2
