Final answer:
Connor can make approximately 0.178 hooks with 10 inches of wire, which would round down to 1 hook.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find how many hooks Connor can make with 10 inches of wire, we can set up a proportion using the ratio of wire used to make the small hook and the number of hooks that can be made.
The proportion would look like this:
56 inches of wire = 1 hook
10 inches of wire = x hooks
To solve for x, we can cross multiply and divide:
56x = 10
x = 10/56 = 5/28, which is approximately 0.178
Therefore, Connor can make approximately 0.178 hooks with 10 inches of wire.
Since we can't make a fraction of a hook, the closest answer choice would be 1 hook, so the correct answer is B. 1 hook.
