Answer 2

Answer:
`300\ feet`

Explanation:

Let be "x" the lenght in feet of rope that you can buy with 30 dollars.

According to the information provided in the exercise, you can buy a piece of rope of 2 feet with 20 cents.

Remember that
`20\ cents=0.2\ dollars`

Knowing this, you can write the following proportion:

`(0.2)/(2)=(30)/(x)`

FInally, solving for "x", you get this result:

`(0.2)/(2)=(30)/(x)\\\\x((0.2)/(2))=30\\\\x=(30)((2)/(0.20))\\\\x=300`
