Alexa transports flowers for Rolling Rosie's Garden Center. On her last route, she earned $450.80. If Alexa earned $0.40 for every mile, how far did she drive?

Question

miles

Answer 1

To find out how far Alexa drove, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Distance} = \frac{\text{Total Earnings}}{\text{Earnings per mile}} \]

In this case, Alexa's total earnings are $450.80 and her earnings per mile are $0.40. Plugging in the values:

\[ \text{Distance} = \frac{450.80}{0.40} \]

Now, perform the division:

\[ \text{Distance} = 1127 \]

So, Alexa drove 1127 miles.
