Question

A certain material costs 10 cents for 2 inches of length. What will be the cost of a 2-foot stick?

Answer 1

1.20 USD

Explanation:

Since there are 12 inches in a foot, you can do

`12 * 2 = 24`

And then:

`24 / 2 = 12`

to represent the 10 cents per two inches. Then, because it costs ten cents, multiply the 12 by 10:

`12 * 10 = 1.20`

1.20$.
