PLEASE HELP A taxi charges $4.00 for the first mile plus $1.25 for each additional mile.
On a fare of $16.50, how long was the ride?

The fare ride was 11 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

So it says that for the first mile the taxi charged $4.00 okay? so then it says for each additional mile he charges $1.25 so what i did was add the $4.00 and then kept on adding $1.25. so $4.00 plus $1.25 equals $5.25 so continue adding $1.25 till you get to exactly $16.50.. Count up exactly how many           "$1.25's" it took to get to $16.50 so it would be exactly 10 times you had to add $1.25 to it and we cant forget the first mile which was $4.00 so thats an additional mile so then it would 11 miles !

step-by-step explanation:

the multiplicative inverse of a fraction a/b is b/a. for the multiplicative inverse of a real number, divide 1 by the number. for example, the reciprocal of 5 is one fifth 1/5 or 0.2, and the reciprocal of 0.25 is 1 divided by 0.25, or 4.
