Answer:

B. 5 foot piece of rope for $25.80

Explanation:

To find the better buy, determine the cost per inch:

A. 30 inch piece of rope for $14.70

14.70 / 30 inches =.49 per inch

B. 5 foot piece of rope for $25.80

5 ft = 5*12 = 60 inches

25.80/60 =.43 per inch

C. One inch of rope for $0.45

.45 per inch
