Question

Tony needs to purchase 9.6 meters of twine for a project. If each roll of tape contains 60cm and costs $3 what is the total cost of the twine that Tony must buy

Answer 1

Given:

a.) Tony needs to purchase 9.6 meters of twine for a project.

b.) Each roll of tape contains 60cm and costs $3.

Step 1: Let's first determine how many rolls of tape will be needed.

`\text{ No. of Rolls = 9.6 (meters) x }\frac{1\text{ Roll}}{0.60\text{ (meters)}}\text{ ; 1 meter = 100 cm}`
`\text{ = 9.6 x }\frac{1\text{ Roll}}{0.60}`
`\text{ = }(9.6)/(0.6)\text{ Roll}`
`\text{ = 16 Rolls}`

Therefore, Tony will be needing 16 rolls of twine.

Step 2: Let's determine the cost of 16 rolls of twine.

`\text{ Total Cost = 16 (rolls) x }\frac{\text{ \$3}}{1\text{ (roll)}}`
`\text{ = 16 x \$3}`
`\text{ Total Cost = \$48}`

Therefore, the cost of the twine that Tony must buy is $48.
