Answer: $2.25
Explanation:
We are required to find the cost per kilometer of Emmanuel.
The cost per kilometre is $2.25 OR $2 and 25cents.
According to the question, the total cost of the journey = $32
The total distance covered during the journey =
14 2/9 km
Therefore, the cost per kilometre can be evaluated mathematically as follows;
Cost per kilometer = cost of the journey ÷ Distance of the journey
= 32 ÷ 14 2/9
By converting 14 2/9 to an improper fraction; we have;
= 32 ÷ 128 / 9
= 32 × 9/128
= (32×9) / 128
= 288 / 128
= 2 32/128
= 2.25 dollar per kilometer
Therefore, the cost per kilometer is $2.25
