Answer:

The distance is 8 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to write an equation for each of chauffeured car services.

The first one = 28 + 2x = ?

The second one = 13 + 5x = ?

Next, we need to figure out what x is. Usually I just plug in random numbers, but I'm sure there's a better way to do it.

I first plugged in 2 as x.

28 + 4 = 32

13 + 10 = 23

That didn't work, so I then plugged in 5.

28 + 10 = 38

13 + 25 = 38

So 5 would be the correct answer for what is the distance.

Svetlanka [38]
If 5.6 and 2.1 are the measurements then:

I need to know how to find a rational number halfway in between 7/8 and 3/7
luda_lava [24]
Check the picture below

hmmm so, notice the arrows, if we simply multiply top and bottom of one fraction by the other's denominator, we end up with two fractions, with the same denominator

now, what can be between 49/56 and 24/56

well, 25/56, or 26/56 or 48/56 or 39/56 and so on

once the denominators are the same, is just a matter of which numerator is larger or smaller, to see who is who
