32 / (14 2/9) = 
32 / (128/9) =
32 * 9 / 128 =
288 / 128 =
$ 2.25 per km

Answer:

$2.25 per kilometer

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we are asked for the unit rate, dollar per kilometer, that is [tex]\$/km[/tex].

If Emanuel was charged $32 we need to divided that amount by the kilometers traveled, so:

[tex]x=\frac{\$32}{(14+\frac{2}{9})km}\\x=\frac{\$32}{\frac{128}{9}km}\\\\x= \frac{\$288}{128km}\\\\x=2.25\frac{\$}{km}[/tex]

So the cost per kilometer traveled is $2.25.
