Question

A white water rafting company sells tickets for an 18-mile river trip for $249.
 

a. How much does it cost to travel one mile? Round your answer to the nearest whole dollar.

  ---Select--- dollars per mile miles per dollar
 

b. How many miles do you travel for one dollar? Round your answer to one decimal place.

Answer 1

a) Cost of 18 miles trip = 249.

So cost of 1 mile trip = 249/18 = $ 13.8333333

But after rounding it to one decimal place the answer becomes $13.8

b) For $249 you can travel 18 miles.

So for $1 you can travel 18/249 = 0.07 miles

After rounding the solution becomes 0.1 miles.
