Hello! To solve this problem, we can write and solve an equation. Set it up like this:
6 + 3m = 24
This is because 6 is the one-time fixed price and you pay $3 per mile. Subtract 6 from both sides in order to get 3m = 18. Now, divide each side by 3 to isolate the “m”. 18/3 is 6. There. m = 6. Mike traveled 6 miles by taxi.
Basically you know that the 2 wholes from both sides cancel out.
Set up the equation, 5/8 = 3/12 + 3/x
3/x = 5/8 - 3/12
Set them to have a common denominator, 3/x = 15/24 - 6/24
3/x = 9/24
Simplify 9/24 and you will get 3/8
3/x = 3/8
Obviously this means x = 8
