A taxi charges $2.50 for each ride plus $1.25 per mile traveled. If the total charge for one ride was $8.75, how many miles
were traveled?

5 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to figure out how many times $1.25 was charged. First, we have to do 2.50 + 1.25 = 3.75 + 1.25 = 5 + 1.25 = 6.25 + 1.25 = 7.5 + 1.25 = 8.75

We charged $1.25 5 times, so this means that it was 5 miles.

56.6

step-by-step explanation:

the ratio of the perimeters is equal to the scale.

the ratio of the areas is equal to the square of the scale.

34 / 20 = k

a / 19.6 = k²

substituting:

a / 19.6 = (34 / 20)²

a = 19.6 (34 / 20)²

a ≈ 56.6

the inequality is:

250c+180g≥950

step-by-step explanation:

let c denotes the number of days in a week   miyoko worked as a cryptographer.

and g denotes the number of days in a week she works as a geologist.

now we are given that she earns $250 for every day she works as a cryptographer,and earns $180 for every day she works as a geologist.

now miyoko's goal is to earn more than $950 this week.

hence, the inequality could be represented as:

250c+180g≥950
