PLEASE HEL! Emily is entering a bicycle race for charity. Her mother pledges $0.80 for every 0.5 mile she bikes. If Emily bikes 8 miles, how much will her mother donate?

 $12.80

Step-by-step explanation:

:)

$12.80 donated money if she bikes 8 miles. solved by finding out how much money she'll get in a mile add .80+.80 and get $1.60. this is way easier to set up equation instead if doing it by half mile. equation is y=1.6(x) // y is money donated, x is $1.60

it's equivalent, so we can say that its equal.

let's call the denominator x and the numerador is 18 less then denominator, x - 18.

multiply

2.x = 5.(x - 18)

2x = 5x - 90

90 = 5x - 2x

90 = 3x

x = 90/3

x = 30

so:
