The taxi ride is an illustration of a linear proportional equation
The taxi ride was 13.25 miles
<h3>How to determine the number of miles</h3>
From the question, we have:
- Total cost = $39.75
- Cost per mile = $3.00
The number of miles (n) is the quotient of the total cost of the ride, and the cost per mile.
So, we have:
n = 39.75/3.00
Evaluate the quotient
n = 13.25
Hence, the ride was 13.25 miles
