Question

If 2 meters of fabric costs $3.45, what should 7 meters cost?

Answer 1

10.07$

Explanation:

6 meters of fabric = 10.35

divide 3.45 by 2

1.72

add 1.72+10.35

10.07$

Answer 2

Set up a proportion 2m/$3.45 = 7m/x

then cross multiply

7(3.45)=2x

then divide both sides by 2

x=12.075 which is roughly $12.08
