a cab company charges a fixed amount plus a fee based on the distance traveled. the cost chart for the company is shown:

cost chart

distance traveled (miles) (x)
cost (dollars) (y)
0
5
1
8
2
11

what is the fixed amount charged? (5 points)

a. $3
b. $5
c. $8
d. $9

The correct answer is "B."

Step-by-step explanation:

The fixed amount is $5, and the fee is $3 because the fee is based on the distance traveled. For every mile the price goes up by $3. That means that you get a fixed amount charged at the beginning, which is $5. Then you get a fee for every mile driven which is $3 per mile.

The question is, "What is the fixed amount charged?" The fixed amount is $5 which is choice "B."

3/4 ÷ 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

basically divide any proper fraction with itself to fit the criteria.

so if we are using 3/4, then:

3/4 ÷ 3/4 = 1

so 1 is the quotient.

and the numerators for both these fractions is 3.   and if we divide the numerators:

3 ÷ 3 = 1

we see that quotient is equal to our original quotient as well.
