16.2 miles.
Since she paid a $5 tip, the cost for her fare was $23.50. Let x be the number of 0.2-mile increments in the trip:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25(x-1)
This equation comes from the 2.50 home pick-up fee; $1 for the first 0.2-mile increment; and 0.25 for each other 0.2-mile increment.
Using the distributive property, we have:
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25*x - 0.25*1
23.50 = 2.50 + 1 + 0.25x - 0.25
Combining like terms,
23.50 = 0.25x + 2.75
Subtracting 2.75 from both sides, we have:
23.50 - 2.75 = 0.25x + 2.75 - 2.75
20.25 = 0.25x
Dividing both sides by 0.25, we have:
20.25/0.25 = 0.25x/0.25
81 = x
This means there are 81 0.2-mile increments in her trip. 81(0.2) = 16.2 miles
Answer:
1/9 use inverse.
Step-by-step explanation:
this is because you can use inversem since the word "of" indicates multiplication divide 1/27 and 1/3 and you get 1/3

Answer:
$738
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of Ellen's share (e) to Tom's share is ...
30%/20% = e/492
Multiplying by 492, we have ...
e = 492(3/2) = 738
Ellen's share of the profits is $738.
Simple interest
you can charge it monthly or yearly
find 4% and multiply by how many months or years
4% of 900=
0.04 times 900=36
that is each time the interst is added
if it is monthly, (6months so ) 6 times 36=216
if it is yearly (6months=1/2year so )6 times 1/2=3
if it is taken monthly, then Sam earns $216
if it is taken yearly, then Sam earns $3
