Answer 2

The cost per kilometer was $2.25

Explanation:

The correct question is

Emanuel was charged $32 for a 14 2/9 km

What was the cost per kilometer?

To find out the cost per kilometer (unit rate) divide the total cost by the total kilometers

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

`14(2)/(9)\ km=(14*9+2)/(9)=(128)/(9)\ km`

Find the unit rate

`(32)/((128)/(9))=(32*9)/(128)=\$2.25\ per\ kilometer`

therefore

The cost per kilometer was $2.25
