Question 697099
30 miles ÷ 1/9
= 30 x 9   {when dividing by a fraction, multiply by the reciprocal}
= 270   {multiplied}


In 30 miles there are 270 of the 1/9 miles.


$3.00 for first 1/9 mile and then $0.30 for every 1/9 mile after that.


269 x $0.30
= $80.70 for 269 of the 1/9 miles


$3.00 + $80.70   {adding the first 1/9 mile cost and the last 269}
= $83.70 for the total trip
