Question

The price of an 8-minute phone call is $1.20. What is the price of an 18-minute phone call?

Answer 1

$2.70

Explanation:

1.20÷8=0.15

0.15= 1 minute of each call

so

0.15x18=$2.70

Answer 2

$2.70 cents

Explanation:

Given the following question:


`1.20/8`

In order to find the answer, we will find how much it costs each minute by dividing.


`1.20/8=0.15`

`m=0.15`

Now multiply:

`m=0.15`

`0.15*18=2.7`

`=2.70`

Which means for an 18-minute phone call it would cost "$2.70 cents."

Hope this helps.
