When the u. s. entered world war ii and mobilized its armed forces using the draft, industrial output would have fallen and severely affected the business cycle. one important way this was avoided was that a) robotic technology replaced human labor in many assembly lines. b) women entered the workforce in large numbers to replace the men. c) war production was not as labor-intensive as peacetime production. d) slave labor by captured enemy soldiers filled many of the gaps in the workforce.

"When the U.S. entered ...One important way this was avoided was that B) women entered the workforce in large numbers to replace the men. As the global conflict escalated on an unprecedented scale, the entire male population was mobilized. As a consequence women's role was expanded. Women were attracted to factories by posters, print advertising, and songs.

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
