Answer:

unit cost in dollars per mile

Step-by-step explanation:

You are given cost, miles, and time for a certain trip.

You are asked the cost for a certain number of miles, so you need a unit cost of dollars per mile.

$7.20/(12 miles) = $0.60/mile

$0.60/mile * 46 miles = $27.60

By first finding the unit cost per mile, you can then find the cost of the 46-mile trip.
