Answer (3)

The taxi driver would earn $24.2 from two passengers, assuming a $2 per mile fare.
Assuming the taxi fare is $2 per mile, the taxi driver would earn $9.6 for the first 4.8 miles and $14.6 for the second 7.3 miles.
Process:
Calculate the fare for the first passenger: 4.8 miles * $2/mile = $9.6
Calculate the fare for the second passenger: 7.3 miles * $2/mile = $14.6
Add the fares together to find the total earnings: $9.6 + $14.6 = $24.2
Therefore, the taxi driver would earn a total of $24.2.

The taxi driver will earn a total of $24.2 from two passengers, calculated by multiplying the distance traveled by the fare per mile for each passenger and then adding the two amounts together. The first passenger pays $9.6 for 4.8 miles, and the second one pays $14.6 for 7.3 miles. Adding both fares results in $24.2.
