What would be the time it takes for an adult fare of $3 charged if the child cost is half?

• A. $6.00
• B. $7.50
• C. $8.50
• D. $9.00

Answer: (A)

To determine the total cost of adult and child fares, start by noting that the adult fare is $3. Given that the child fare is half of the adult fare, the child fare amounts to $1.50 (which is half of $3).

Next, to find the total cost, you need to combine the adult fare with the child fare. When you add the costs together:

Adult fare: $3.00

Child fare: $1.50

Total fare: $3.00 + $1.50 = $4.50

However, the question is asking about the total time it takes based on the charged fares, and the answer choices listed do not correspond to this total directly. It seems there might have been a misunderstanding or miscalculation in deriving the answer choices or interpreting the question.

The correct approach to find the time associated with the fare would usually involve knowing how long the child fare might apply, but that information isn't provided in this context.

If we focus purely on the mathematical components you've provided, the answer of $6.00 could be an assumption of two adult fares instead, but without the additional context or parameters of how the question how "time" factors into a fare scenario, it's hard to
