You have written the request improperly. In mathematics of any type, accuracy in the question is the ONLY way to achieve an accurate result. ¶ FIRST: You wrote '.7 tenths'. That is literally 'seven/tenths tenths' (or (0.7) / 10 = (0.07), or 'seven one-hundredths', and that is clearly not what you intended to ask. ¶ You should write it as 'what is seven tenths of .... ' or 'what is 0.7 of ... '. This kind of a number (smaller than One, but larger than Zero) is commonly called a fraction; * see below. ¶ SECOND: You wrote 'what is .7 tenths of a miledivided into 2200.00'. As above, one must always state the query accurately — 'miledivided' is not a word, of course, but one cannot just assume knowing what was intended! What if it was meant to be 'miles dived'or 'milled dividend', etc.? ¶ THIRD: If an integer or whole number, such as 2200, is DIVIDED by a *FRACTION — which is what the request specifically says — then the answer will be LARGER than that initial number. But almost always in everyday life when fractions and whole numbers are interacting it is to determine a result which is SMALLER than that initial number. Your improperly written query will instead result in a number LARGER than 2200 (and it would seem that is NOT what you were after, obviously). ¶ You see: a FRACTION (say, seven-tenths or 0.7) TIMES (2200) = 1540. But that fraction DIVIDED INTO a number (2200) will equal 2200 / 0.7 = 3,142.857 !!! Not what you wanted to know! ¶ LASTLY: The request asks for a fraction of 'a mile into $2200'. HOWEVER, 'miles'have absolutely no role to play in what you are trying to determine! What you wish to determine is 'what portion, or percentage - same thing here , of a total cost'. The miles are done, over, and the travel's cost was $2,200. So it is ONLY the cost that you should ask about. I hope we can assume you are not fluent in English, but that is not the major problem. I recommend a relatively short class in mathematical logic and structuring of mathematical 'problems' to reach an intended TYPE of result. I believe there are even brief books about this very subject. ¶ ¶ Good luck! Don't give up!
