Question

An 8ft length of 4 inch wide crown molding costs $14. How much will it cost to buy 32 ft of crown molding?

Answer 1

It will cost $56 to buy 32 ft of crown molding.

Step-by-step explanation

Suppose, the cost of 32 ft of crown molding is
`x` dollar.

Given that, 8 ft length crown molding costs $14.

According to the ratio of "length" of crown molding to the "cost", the equation will be.......

`(8)/(14)= (32)/(x)\\ \\ 8x=14*32=448\\ \\ x=(448)/(8)=56`

So, it will cost $56 to buy 32 ft of crown molding.
