Question

At a​ little-known vacation​ spot, taxi fares are a bargain. A 14​-mile taxi ride takes 16 minutes and costs ​$11.20. You want to find the cost of a 33​-minute taxi ride

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the cost of a 33-minute taxi ride, we first need to determine the cost per minute of the taxi ride. We can do this by dividing the cost of a 14-mile taxi ride ($11.20) by the time it took (16 minutes):

$11.20 ÷ 16 minutes = $0.70 per minute

Now that we know the cost per minute, we can find the cost of a 33-minute taxi ride by multiplying the cost per minute by 33:

$0.70 x 33 minutes = $23.10

So a 33-minute taxi ride at this vacation spot would cost $23.10.
