The answer is in the picture below !
169 because 13 x 13 = 168
1.2 is less than 1.5
If you cancel out 1 from both numbers you're left with .2 and .5
Multiply both by 10 and get 2 and 5.
Obviously 2 is less than 5.
Let's forget for the tie being the cost ($3.5)of the 1st fifth of a mile:
Taxi charge excluding $3.5, is $13.95 - $3.5 = $10.45.
If each of the 5th (1/5) of a mile costs $0.55, then with $10.45 we can drive:
10.45/0.55 = 19 fifth of a mile. Add to that the 1st fifth = 20 fifth of a mile
20 fifth = 20 x 1/5 = 4 miles (answer)
A healthy 140 pound boy needs between 2,000 to 2,400 calories a day.
Hope that helps :)
