Why does Alicia’s father ignore her comments about the mice? Why is Alicia "afraid of nothing except four-legged fur? And fathers."?

Explanation:

If Alicia is afraid of mice, and her father ignores her comments about mice, it means she will also be scared of her father. It's like if you are scared of the dark. You will also be scared of the night-because that is when it is dark. Alicia is scared of mice. She is also scared of her father because he does not do anything about the mice, meaning she will still have to see them.

Explanation:

because Alicia and his father are afraid of the mice

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
