Answer: 12 cones would be placed along 36 feet of road.

Explanation:

If 4 cones are placed along 12 feet of road, we can calculate the number of cones placed along 36 feet of road using a proportion.

Let x be the number of cones placed along 36 feet of road. We can set up the proportion:

(4 cones / 12 feet) = (x cones / 36 feet)

Now, cross-multiply and solve for x:

4 * 36 = 12 * x

x = (4 * 36) / 12

x = 12
