A taxi ride cost $2 for the first 1/5 of a km and 40 cents for each additional fifth of a km. Dan has $9.60. What is the longest taxi ride he can afford, in kilometres?

4 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

First! Let's create an equation, with our variable (x) representing the number of additional fifth kilometers Dan can afford.

2 + 0.40x = 9.60

Now, we have to solve for our x value by subtracting 2 from both sides.

0.40x = 7.60

Next, we can divide both sides by 0.40 to find out what our x value is equal too.

x = 19

Don't forget this x value is just for the number of additional fifth kilometers Dan can afford on top of his first fifth mile.

So! Dan can afford 20 fifth kilometers, which in turn in is 4 kilometers in total.

Hope this Helps! :)

the 3rd option is right

step-by-step explanation:

option a is correct.

step-by-step explanation:

scale factor: it is used to find proportional measurements.

proportions means having the same ratio.

scale factor is the ratio of the model measurement to the actual measurement in a simplest form.

or we can say that the ratio of any two corresponding lengths in two similar geometric figures

if the scale factor is more than 1, then it is an enlargement,

if the scale factor less than 1, then it is a reduction.

given the two geometric figure:

by definition of proportions, we have
