Question

Suppose that 24 inches of wire costs 96 cents.

At the same rate, how much (in cents) will 29 inches of wire cost?

Answer 1

Answer: 116 cents

Explanation:

First, you have to find the cost per inch.

96/24 = 4

So it's 4 cents per 1 inch.

4 * 29 = 116

It's 116 cents for 29 inches of wire.

Hope this helps!!!
