Answer 1

A 12 mile ride in Taxi 1 costs $36.00, and in Taxi 2 it costs $34.20.

Explanation:

Given that:

Charges of taxi 1 = $3.00 per mile

Charges of taxi 2 = $1.77 per kilometer

1 mile = 1.61 kilometers

To find:

Cost of a 12 miles ride for taxi 1 and taxi 2.

Solution:

Let us first convert the charges of each taxi to per mile.

Taxi 1 charges are already given in per mile.

Charges for 1 mile = $3

Charges for 12 miles = 3
`*` 12 = $36

Taxi 2 charges = 1.77
`*` 1.61 = $2.85 per mile

Charges for 12 miles = 2.85
`*` 12 = $34.20

Therefore, the answer is:

A 12 mile ride in Taxi 1 costs $36.00, and in Taxi 2 it costs $34.20.
