What kinda of math is this so i can answer..

125 = 5^3 = 25 * 5

The simplification you are trying to do involves finding the prime factorization of a number. Since 125 is not divisible by 2, move on to 3. 125 is also not divisible by 3, so move on to 5. Then 125/5 = 25, and 25/5 = 5, so 125 = 5^3. The prime factorization of 125 is 5^3.
You take 69 * 0.35 and then take that total (24.15) so 60-24.15= 35.85 then to find the tax take 35.85*.07=2.51 so your answer is 35.85+2.51=38.36
Total distance = 1.6 miles

Miles left = 1.6 - 0.4 = 1.2 miles left
