What would it cost togo 22 miles at 10 cents for every 1/3 of a mile

Question

At 10 cents a mile for every 1/3 of a mile how much would it cost to go 22 miles

Answer 1

10 cents for 1/3 mile means 30 cents for a full mile

Multiply 30 cents by 22 to get 660 cents or $6.60 to go 22 miles

You could put this in an equation form

10 cents = $0.10

10 cents is to 1/3 mile as x is to 22 miles. Set those two ratios or fractions equal and solve for x:

.10/(1/3) = x/22

.30 = x/22

x= 22(.3) = 6.6 which is in dollar or $6.60
