Final answer:
At a rate of $0.60 per card, 30 baseball cards will cost $18.00, and 12 baseball cards will cost $7.20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Noah bought 15 baseball cards for $9.00, which means each card costs $0.60 (9.00 ÷ 15).
- To find out how much 30 baseball cards would cost at this rate, multiply 0.60 by 30. So, 30 cards × $0.60 per card = $18.00.
- For 12 baseball cards, multiply 0.60 by 12. Thus, 12 cards × $0.60 per card = $7.20.
The correct answers are: a. $18.00 for 30 baseball cards and b. $7.20 for 12 baseball cards.
