Step 1) You would need to convert your 2 fractions into equivalent numbers. In this case, the closet gcf (greatest common factor) is 12. So, 5/4 would convert to 15/12 and 2/3 converts to 8/12.
Step 2) You know have your decimals that are equivalent. All you have left now is to subtract. Take 15/12 and subtract 8/12 from it. You would now get 7/12 of a mile that is still needed to run.
Step 3) Usually, you would simplify your new fraction. In this case, our fraction doesn't simplify. It will stay 7/12 of a mile. For example, If our number had ended up being 4/12, then we would simplify it to 1/3 of a mile. Because, 4 divided by 4 is 1 and 12 divided by 4 is 3. You can't simplify your answer anymore.
Hope this helped!

Answer:
The horse-drawn carriage tour company can expect to take in $6960 when the charge per customer is $60.
Step-by-step explanation:
p(2) = 120 -2·2 = 116 . . . . . expected number of customers per day
c(2) = 50 +5·2 = 60 . . . . . . charge per customer
Then ...
(p·c)(2) = p(2)·c(2) = 116·60 = 6960 . . . . revenue for the day
