Hello! In order to understand this question, we need to take a look at the content that is involved.
Lupita pays $40.03 in total. Meaning that's where we are going to start if we want to find out how many miles her ride was. Since the taxi charges a flat rate of $6.75. We would want to subtract it from her total value because we only work with that flat rate once. Which ends up giving us $33.28. From there, we don't need to worry about the flat rate anymore and we now focus on the mileage. If it costs $3.20 per mile, then we can simply divide the amount after to flat rate by the cost per mile, to figure out how many miles she has gone. In the end, you will get 10.4 miles.
Simply take the numerator (3) and denominator (7) and add them together.
3+7 = 10, which means that the ratio will provide parts that are in multiples of 10 depending on the total
so take 10x = 800
x = 80.
Then multiply this by the numerator and denominator
3*80/7*80 = 240/560.
Answer:
C because h is increasing at -0.5,3
This is a proportion problem that involves cross-multiplication
Set your problem up like so:
=
Now cross multiply
2,000 x 3 = 6,000
now you're left with 5x = 6,000
Now divide by 5 on both sides
Answer is 1,200
