Question

Suppose that 19 inches of wire costs 76 cents.

At the same rate, how many inches of wire can be bought for 64 cents?

Answer 1

Answer: 16 inches

Step-by-step explanation: well, if you do 76/19, it gives you four, so the ratio is 1-inch costs 4 cents.

Then you just have to do 64/4, which gives you 16. You can buy 16 inches of wire with 64 cents
