Question

If you get 120 feet of wire for 4.6 ounces how much wire do you get for 2.2 pounds

Answer 1

918.26 feet not rounding in the beginning 918.72 feet rounding in the beginning

Explanation:

first convert pounds to ounces.

in order to do that you should multiply your pounds by 16 and you get 35.2 ounces.

now you look to the first thing that they gave you which was for 4.6 ounces they gave you 120 ft of wire.

now divide 120 by 4.6 and you get 26.1 if you round up if you don't its 26.087

take your number which ever one is necessary to you and multiply it by the ounces that you calculated earlier which was 35.2

and there is your answer

Answer 2

918.26feet of wire is the right answer

Explanation:

convert ounce to pound first

So 4.6 ounces= 0.2875 pounds

so for 0.2875 pounds you get= 120 feet of wire

for 1 pound you get = 120/0.2875 =417.39

for 2.2 pounds you get= 417.39 x 2.2

= 918.26 feet of wire
