Answer:  40 miles

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Let x represent the number of miles and y represent the total cost

U-Haul: y = 0.75x + 49.95

ABC:     y = 0.50x + 59.95

Use substitution method to solve for x:

0.75x + 49.95 = 0.50x + 59.95

0.25x + 49.95 =              59.95         <em>subtracted 0.50x from both sides</em>

0.25x               =              10.00          <em>subtracted 49.95 from both sides</em>

                   x   =    40                        <em>divided 0.25 from both sides</em>

Divide the total amount by the portion size.

= 3 1/2 ÷ 1/4
convert 3 1/2 to improper fraction

= (2*3+1)/2 ÷ 1/4
= 7/2 ÷ 1/4

to divide a fraction, we multiply by the reciprocal/inverse of 1/4

= 7/2 * 4/1
multiply numerators, then multiply denominators

= (7*4)/(2*1)
= 28/2

= 14

ANSWER: 14

Hope this helps! :)

-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

If Lauren spend 2/3 of her 24-hour computer time doing homework, this means she spent 16 hours doing homework. Each third of the 24 hours is 8 hours, so two thirds would be 16 hours.
