Question

A 15-foot wire and a 5-foot wire were each cut

completely into 10-inch pieces. How many more

10-inch pieces resulted from the 15-foot wire than

from the 5-foot wire? (12 inches = 1 foot)

Answer 1

Answer: 12

Explanation: 15 feet=180 inches

5 feet= 60 inches

divide both by 10 inch pieces and we get 18 pieces and 6 pieces.

so 18-6=12
