Amelia took a taxi from her house to the airport. The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $4.60 plus $0.50 per mile. The total fare was $13.60, not including the tip. Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine
m
m, the number of miles in the taxi ride.

Respuesta :

Solution: the number of miles in the taxi ride.= 180 miles

Miles : A unit of length equal to exactly 1.609344 kilometers.

Also equal to 1,760 yards or 5,280 feet.

The average walking speed is 3 miles per hour (so it takes about 20 minutes to walk 1 mile).

The taxi company charged a pick-up fee of $4.60

The taxi company charged $0.50 per mile.

The total fare was $13.60

The total fare = pick-up charged + traveling charged

the number of miles in the taxi ride = m

$13.60= $4.60 +  m x $.50

$13.60-$4.60 = $.50m

9 =.50 m

9 /.50 = m

900/5 = m

180 = m

the number of miles in the taxi ride.= 180 miles
