Yellow Cab : y = 0.25x + 5
Express Cab: y = 1.5x
a) Yellow Cab: 1.75 + 5 = 6.75
Express Cab: 1.5 * 7 = 10.5
YELLOW CAB
b) Yellow Cab: 0.75 + 5 = 5.75
Express Cab: 1.5 * 3 = 4.5
EXPRESS CAB
c) 0.25x + 5 = 1.5x
1.25x = 5
x = 4
4 MILES
You have a 2:8 ratio, or 1:4. Since you have 12 cups of raisins, you're going to get the answer 48.
