Question

Jordan works at a factory that makes steel wire. The factory makes 3.6 yards of wire every minute. How many yards of steel wire will the factory make in 7 minutes?

Answer 1

25.2 yards

Explanation:

The equation is

(3.6yards/1minute) x 7minutes (or 7minutes/1)

Cancelling out the "minutes" leaves 3.6 yards times 7, or 25.2 yards.
