If a taxi costs $8.00 plus $3.85 per mile (m) and a customer needs to travel 14 miles, select the equation that represents how much will their cab fare cost.

$3.85m + $8.00 = $61.90- The taxi fare will cost $61.90 because $8.00 + ($3.85 × 14 miles) = $61.90, therefore the equation can be presented as $3.85m + $8.00 = $61.90.

Solve for the variable.

63/𝑎 + 3=10

9- The correct solution is 9.

Subtract 3 from both sides of the equation.

63 = 7a Multiply both sides of the equation by the variable, a.

a = 9 Divide both sides of the equation by 7.

A patient receives 1,200 mL of fluid every 4 hours over the course of 24 hours. How much total fluid does the patient receive in one day?

7,200 mL- The patient will receive 7,200 mL because the patient will receive 6 doses of the fluid since 24–hours ÷ 4 hours = 6 doses. Multiply the fluid amount by 6, 1,200 mL × 6 = 7,200 mL.

A toy company manufactures two cycles of a toy with the same percentage of error for each production cycle. If they make 450 toys and 45 have errors, how many toys will be made in error if they only made 300 toys in the second cycle?

30 - A proportion to solve the problem would be set up as ⁴⁵⁄₄₅₀= ˣ⁄₃₀₀ and x = 30. Alternatively, 45 out of 450 is simply identified as 0.1 or 10%. Since the toy company has a 10% error, 10% of 300 = 30 because 300 × 0.1 = 30.

A construction site manager buys each of his workers a box of 500 nails to keep in their belt while they work. One worker uses ¼ of a box, while the other workers use ⅖, and ⁹⁄₁₀. How many nails are left between all of the workers?

725- There are 725 nails left amongst all of the workers. Multiplying the fractions by the number of nails each worker was given reveals that the first worker used 125 nails, the second used 200 nails, and the last worker used 450. Altogether they used 775 nails out of the 1,500. 1,500 - 775 = 725 nails that remain.
