Read the sentence from a report on the life of Napoleon. Napoleon Bonaparte was born on Corsica, the fourth-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea after the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and Cyprus, in 1769.

What is the BEST way to revise the sentence without changing its meaning?

Napoleon Bonaparte was born on Corsica, an island in the Mediterranean Sea, in 1769.
He was born on Corsica in 1769 near Sicily and Sardinia.
Napoleon was born on Corsica, the fourth-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea.
Corsica is the fourth-largest island in the Mediterranean Sea, after the islands of Sicily, Sardinia, and Cyprus.

in the problem you wrote said that the taxi charges $0.070 per mile(which would be 7 cents per mile), but then in your suggested equation you have it as $0.70 per mile (which is 70 cents per mile).

the latter seems more realistic, so i will assume that the taxi costs $5.00 and charges $0.70 per mile with tolls costing an additional $3.50. and it asks you to find how far you can travel on $36.50.

let x the number of miles traveled. since the taxi charges $0.70 per mile, multiplying this by the miles traveled (x) will yield the cost of the taxi ride as far as how far it took you. then adding this amount to the cost of the taxi ($5.00) and the additional cost for the tolls ($3.50) will give you the total cost of the taxi ride ($36.50)

that is,

            (0.70)x + 5.00 + 3.50 = 36.50

adding the like terms on the left-hand side of this equation, we arrive at the following:

            (0.70)x + 8.50 = 36.50

subtracting 8.50 from both sides of the equation, we get:

            (0.70)x = 28.00

to solve for x, divide both sides of the equation above by the coefficient of x (that being, 0.70):

            x = 40

thus, you can travel up to 40 miles on $36.50

might need to ask questions people no or have read somthing about.

i will have to go with 1.

hope this !
